Description:Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 33. Chapters: Ngo Dinh Diem, Nguy n V n Thi u, Nguyen Khanh, Duong Van Minh, Tran Van Huong, Phan Khac Suu. Excerpt: Nguy n Khanh (born November 8, 1927) is a former general in the Army of the Republic of Vietnam who variously served as chief of state and Prime minister of South Vietnam while at the head of a military junta from January 1964 until February 1965. He was involved in or against many coup attempts, failed and successful, from 1960 until his defeat and exile from South Vietnam in 1965. The son of a wealthy Mekong Delta landlord, Khanh joined H Chi Minh's communist-dominated Vi t Minh in 1945 after finishing his schooling, as the nationalist fervour for independence from France swept across Vietnam. He left the Vi t Minh after a year, claiming that he had not previously known about their communist ideology. It was the first of many notable changes of allegiance during his military career, and critics claimed that Khanh switched to the French-backed State of Vietnam and Vietnamese National Army because he was a careerist. In any case, he trained as an officer and commanded paratroopers against the Vi t Minh in the First Indochina War. After the partition, and the formation of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), Khanh became the first commander of the Vietnam Air Force after a crash course in flying. By the age of 33 he was already a general and the Chief of Staff of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam. In November 1960, he helped President Ngo inh Di m defeat a coup attempt by paratroopers, but he was accused of waiting until Di m gained the upper hand before backing him. In 1963, after Di m was captured and executed after a successful coup, Khanh was posted to the far north of the country as the ruling generals deemed him to be untrustworthy. The ambitious Khanh responded by launching a successful coup in Januar...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
