review 1: Interestingly, regardless of who is right and who is wrong, Demery writes a thought provoking view of Vietnam as a country as well as those who sat in power seats in Vietnam, the United States, France and China in the mid twentieth century. Madam Nhu is the central character in this book, and she is portrayed as a less than perfect person. But let's see, who is perfect and who was right? Demery's view makes for very provocative reading - both internationally and personally.
review 2: This was a very interesting story of Madame Nhu, the first lady under the Diem regime in Vietnam. I know precious little of the history that got us into Vietnam, so this was my entree into some of that history. The book is written as the authors encounter with Madame Nhu. They do ... morein phone interviews for years, which the author supplements with fact finding through research and and other interviews. less
