Marvin J. Wolf is the author or coauthor of nine nonfiction books,
including "Where White Men Fear to Tread, "the national bestselling
memoir in collaboration with Native American activist Russell
Means. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
"Ky's story provides an interesting picture of the man who ruled
the tail that wagged the American dog in the mid-1960s."--Peter
Ross Range, "The Washington Post Book World"
"Insightful . . . Modest and keenly detailed, a welcome
contribution to the literature of the Vietnam War."--"Kirkus
Reviews"
"A remarkable, fascinating read. An unbelievably candid yet
credible account of the tortured U.S./Vietnam relationship, and the
incompetence and corruption of many of the senior Vietnamese
leaders. "Buddha's Child" reveals previously unpublished incidents
of significant importance. Students of the French and American Wars
in Vietnam will find this hard-hitting book difficult to put
down."--Harold G. Moore, Lt. General, U.S. Army (Ret.), and
coauthor of "We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young"
"Nguyen Cao Ky reveals what went on behind the scenes at the
highest levels of the Saigon and Washington governments: the coup
d'etat, the secret deals, the rivalries and intrigues, the revolts,
the astonishing greed and corruption of his fellow generals, the
conspiracies and betrayals, and, ultimately, the tears. Intimate,
honest, and revealing on every page, this is a necessary piece of
the history for all who want to know what really went on at the
top."--Jack Laurence, former CBS News correspondent and author of
"The Cat from Hue: A Vietnam War Story"
"[Ky] makes a case too remarkable to doubt. His take on America's
role in Vietnam makes too much sense to dismiss . . . Honest
criticism from an informed ally is well worth our attention."--Ron
Honig, "Santa Cruz Sentinel"
"Against the background of the war, and expressions of his
patriotism, Ky's recollections will certainly contribute to
assessments of South Vietnam's viability and fate."--Gilbert
Taylor, "Booklist"
"Ky provides an insider's look at the political machinations within
South Vietnam during the American war."--"Publishers Weekly"
