Crooked Bamboo is a political memoir centered on Nguyen Thai's
inside account of South Vietnam's Ngo Dinh Diem regime. Thai was a
close personal aide for Diem as well as Director General of Vietnam
Press, giving him significant access to Diem and other Ngo family
members. Although the Diem era is the focus of the memoir, Nguyen
Thai's post-1963 career as a government official, businessman, and
confidant of several key South Vietnamese figures sheds light on
the aftermath of the Diem regime and the dilemmas of South
Vietnam's anti-communist elite throughout the Vietnam War. Thai's
attempts to help bring the war to a negotiated end and his
experiences as one of the first former South Vietnamese officials
to return to Communist Vietnam also offer important reflections on
the meaning of the war and its aftermath.
