CIA and the Generals.pdf

This volume is one of three by author Thomas Ahern on CIA activities
in South Vietnam. Ahern's concentration on the actions and operations
of CIA officers in the field, not CIA Headquarters, makes these
volumes unique. CIA and the Generals: Covert Support to Military Government
in South Vietnam, traces the tortuous course of events in Saigon
following the fall of President Ngo Dinh Diem. Ahern strikingly illustrates
Saigon Station efforts to work with and understand the various military
governments of South Vietnam which followed Diem, and carefully
details CIA attempts to stabilize and urge democratization on the changing
military regimes in order to save South Vietnam from Communism.
