Henry Cabot Lodge became United States ambassador to South Vietnam
in August 1963, a critical period in the evolution of American
policy there. During the first of Lodge's two embassies in Saigon,
a U.S. government-approved coup overthrew President Diem of South
Vietnam and another U.S.-inspired coup brought to power a
Vietnamese general trained in America. This book focuses on Lodge's
ambassadorship from 1963 to June 1964, examining the constraints
and possibilities inherent in the Vietnam situation at that time
and revealing the role Lodge played in shaping President Lyndon
Johnson's 1965 decision to commit U.S. troops to the war. Anne
Blair is the first to draw on Lodge's collected papers, including
an unpublished memoir, as well as on previously unavailable U.S.
Saigon embassy reports and on interviews with former U.S. officials
and others who served with Lodge in Vietnam and Washington.
