America's Chosen President Became America's TargetAjouté :
The CIA's perfect puppet became their greatest nightmare. It's 1955 Saigon, South Vietnam.
America handpicks a Catholic mandarin to lead the fight against communism. Ngo Dinh Diem launches fierce anti-corruption campaigns and builds schools across the countryside. His people love him for standing up to both communists and foreign influence, but Washington expects obedience, not independence.
Then Diem refuses direct American orders and blocks CIA operations. Secret cables fly between Saigon and Washington. On November 1st, tanks surround the presidential palace. Gunfire erupts in the streets. Diem flees to a Catholic church where soldiers drag him to an armored car and execute him. The leader America created and destroyed was Ngo Dinh Diem.
