I lost my family in North Vietnam, in 1954 when I was four year old. In 1963, I lost A Great Hero, The First and The Last President of Republic Of Viet-Nam, in my heart and my soul, Mr. Ngo-Dinh Diem ! My Only President was killed by his servers ( the self promoted generals ) paid by American Government, our friend! How bitter! What kind of friend is that! That big lost led to another lost....In 1975 I lost the second part of my Beloved Mother Land. Along the path of my manhood, I can afford to loose many things. But I can not live my own live without My Mother Land....

Awesome site. I've been looking for a site like this for a while now and finally stumbled upon this. Before, everything I read was contradicting whatever my dad, for example, the dualism of how President Ngo Dinh Diem was perceived. Keep up the good work. By the way, I don't mean to be blunt but eventhough these things will never be known by the public, God saw it all, and I'm sure that the strong-faith man is with the Lord now.

I loved President Ngo Dinh Diem because he was a worthy Vietnamse President. It seemed he made some mistakes during his times as a president, however, he is a human being. I also admired his brother Ngo Dinh Nhu. I wish his family would survive and continue as a symbol of the Vietnamese patriotic nationalists. God saves all his family members.

Wow! I have learned a lot from this site. I like this site because it is in Vietnamese point of view not American. Other site just have Americans point of view in which i believe they have no rights to have such point of views and judgment. In school textbooks, American says that most vietnamese people disliked Diem. i believe that is not true because i asked my relatives and others viet around me and they all liked him. All i heard from others website is about Diem's cruelty in which i believe is not true. HOw did american people know that Diem was cruel while they did not live in VN. WE, Vietnamese, have the rights to judge about President DIem action as cruel or not because we live under his governing.

PS: I want to ask that the other day i saw this small clips of Diem speaches but now it is gone. Can u please post it back on this site.

Although I am Chinese Vietnamese, Vietnam is my country where I was born and grown up under 2 regimes. My family did not participate in politics, eventhough my grandfather was an anticommunist. He did a lot of civil acts to help his community. On 01/11/63, although he knew that he would jeopardize his own and his family life by offering his residence for an overnight stay to Pres Diem and his brother before they headed to the Church Nha Tam and were assassinated. I don't know much how he ran the gvt but I know that he defended his country, did not want the US to have direct military control over his country, did not want to be a puppet for the US, and when the Coup happened he did not surrender mot cach hen ha nhu ong Thieu mot trong nhung nguoi trong ke hoach muu sat cua co Tong Thong Diem.

Hi! Mr. Ma Doanh.

1) Your Grand Father/Father and all the people support President Diem do
the Best things the their country and they're a part of it.
2) Did you know how president Diem and Nhu ran the South Viet Nam government?
They worked at least 16 hours every day and ate a rice with a little fish as big as your finger and when the governmenthave a meeting the people work for that team need to Borrow the chair....
 

They ran the South Viet Nam with the minimum depend on US.

History must remember all good and Bad things happened to our Freedom homeland and I wish everyone will learn the lesson from the mistakes.

I'd like to express my deepest respect to President Ngo Dinh Diem. Just the night before the assassination, President Ngo and his brother Nhu were driven to spend the night at my home,in Cholon, the residence of a Chinese immigrant, Ma Tuyen who is my grandfather. Our life was changed since that coup d'etat. My grandfather was arrested so did my father. Our properties were seized and confiscated by the Minh government and we were chased out of the house while I was only 6 years old and my youngest brother who was 2 months old. Memories of my grandfather's good deeds and samaritan acts to the country to help his country fellowmen escaping from the Viet Minh at Mien Bac to settle in the South Vietnam were greatly admired by us. My grand father, and father both passed away but they are my heroes. MaTuyen's legacy will continue on as well as Co Tong Thong NGO, le president Ngo Dinh Diem feu, a patriot who never gave up in front of his enemies, who is forever loved and supported by his people.

Tôi là người ở với Cộng Sản từ nhỏ, biết rơ Cộng Sản là bọn vô thần, vô tôn giáo, vô gia đ́nh và vô tổ quốc vi theo chế độ Cộng Sản th́ phải chấp nhận như thế. Do đó, tôi luôn ủng hộ TT Diệm, chế độ Cộng Ḥa và chủ nghĩa Nhân Vị mà ông đem về áp dụng tại Việt Nam và lập trường cương quyết chống cộng của ông. Tôi biết chắc rằng ông sẽ bị chết chỉ v́ ông là người Công Giáo làm TT trong một nước đa số là Phật Giáo (cũng như John F. Kennedy làm TT trong một nước đa số là Tin Lành)trong khi Cộng Sản luôn luôn t́m cách lợi dụng, khai thác ḷng tị hiềm nhỏ nhen của con người. Nhưng ông Diệm chết đi là một chuyện nhỏ, nhưng cả một dân tộc bị "chết theo" ông v́ Cộng Sản và những kẻ ngu dốt về chính trị mới là chuyện lớn... Không biết bao giờ quê hương mới "phục sinh" được sau cái chết 30-4-1975?

Thanks for the excellent site. Although I am not a republican, I do think that Ngo Dinh Diem was the best President South Vietnam ever had (Phan Khac Suu may have been alright but was too old). After the under-handed murder of Diem, I think S. Vietnam was politically doomed. No one else ever had the courage and determination to win that Diem displayed. I also don't think his family was nearly as bad as many seem to think. I really liked Madame Nhu, if for no other reason than for always speaking her mind honestly - a rare thing for anyone close to politics!

Thank you for your tribute to President Ngo Dinh Diem. While reading an American History book written by a Catholic Historian, from a Catholic perspective, I was stunned to read of President Diem's devout Catholicism, and that his government had NOT, in fact, been the despotic, corrupt, dictatorial government our colleges and universities are teaching their students. I came across your site after doing a search on the internet to find out more information on President Diem. Your web-site was the only one, among many, that told the story of this honorable man like my Catholic History book.

I was a very small child in 1963, and so do not remember much about that era. And like most Americans, I learned in school a very biased view of "The Vietnam Era." But thanks to some honest Historians, and sites like yours, I can, 40 years after his death, learn more about a man whom I have come to greatly respect and admire as a true hero and champion of true freedom. It's a travesty that he, and his memory, have been so grossly calumniated. I am teaching my son the truth about President Ngo Dinh Diem, and may God rest his soul!

I think,our country can not find any leadership like him (President Diem). Let 80 million Vietnamese people still in Viet Nam have soon can smell and taste the value of Freedom like every human around the world. I pray Mr PresidentDiem and his brother Nhu, help us to make that dream come true some day soon and sooner.

God bless you all my brothers and sisters who are still in my homeland.

Viet Nam forever, Ngo dinh Diem forever.

The person who entered the comments on Sunday, 8-8-04, is a prime example as to why getting the truth about President Ngo out to the young people of today is so important. This person has obviously been indoctrinated to their present point of view and apparently has no desire to know the truth. The only knowledge that many today have of the man (President Ngo) is what has been taught in college and high school classes that use the "propaganda" and false information compiled by the people who hated President Ngo because he would NOT sell out the Vietnamese people. Communist tactics at the time were to create a 'monster' by a method called "Ruf Mord" or murder of a reputation by Lenin. The art of 'hate propaganda' as Lenin described it is: "The wording (of our campaign against our political foes)is calculated to provoke hatred, disgust, contempt. The phrasing must be calculated not to convince but to destroy, not to correct the adversary's mistake, but to annihilate his organization and wipe it off the face of the earth."[Lenin, Collected Works, Vol.XII, pp.382-385.]


Many people (reporters, polititians) naively believed the hate mongering and willingly jumped on the bandwagon to destroy President Ngo without bothering to verify the things that were being implied. But enough. Keep up the good work. The truth will prevail.

You and I witnessed the terrible destiny for a small country like Vietnam, the struggle to survive between communism and capitalism had not been easy. President Diem did the right things for his country, unfortunately he alone could not stop the betrayal of American governments and the group of "mercenaire" generals. At the end as we all have known so far, the fall of the South by the run away of the Americans. We Vietnamese never asked for their presence in my country. Look at Iraq right now.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude toward the website's great effort in accumulating various invaluable materials about the Vietnam War and many Vietnamese heroes, especially the late President Ngo Dinh Diem. May President Diem rest in peace and be embraced by love of his Christ. As many other Dai Viet sons and daughters, I wish President Diem happiness and free of suffering.

In my humble opinion, let me borrow a conversational excerpt between Mary Gimbel and President Kennedy to sum up what I think – I believe that many would feel the same way – about President Diem: “President Diem and Advisor Ngo Dinh Nhu were not dictators. Despite under extreme difficult situation, they did what best for their country!” The common mistakes that many scholars have in writing about President Diem are: (1) they use obsolete, biased, inaccurate, and dishonest information; and (2) they use hindsight without taking into account the circumstances that surrounded Vietnam at the time.

As more and more confidential materials have been disclosed by the US government, ARVN generals and officials, and even the Vietnamese Communist government, more light has gradually been shed to bring back the truth to many mysterious critical elements of the Vietnam War. For a long time, the truth about the Vietnam War has been ridiculously distorted by the US media, many former US high-ranking officials, the Vietnamese Communist government former, and sadly, ARVN officers and officials. Usually, there is only one common theme about the Vietnam War that has been played over and over again like an old broken record to justify why the US lost the war, to sooth the American guilt of killing women and children, and to impose blame onto the people of South Vietnam. This theme normally consists of three parts. First, the Vietnamese communists had a tremendous amount of will power to oust the foreigners that include the French, the Japanese and finally the Americans to gain back the sovereignty for the whole Vietnam. Second, all of the US administrations, from Roosevelt, to Kennedy, to Johnson, to Nixon, made many fatal mistakes and ill-advised decisions in NOT supporting such a patriotic genius like Ho Chi Minh, but instead supporting a religious-freak, incompetent, corrupted dictator Ngo Dinh Diem, and many incompetent and corrupted generals thereafter. The fact that Ho Chi Minh strongly believed in the US principle by paraphrasing the US Declaration of Independence in announcing his country’s proclaimed independence in 1945 and begged the Americans for support to oust the French colonialists proves that he was not a true communist at heart and that he openly denounced the control that the Soviet Union might have had upon his administration. He had to finally utilize his last resort by turning to the Soviet Union for support because he had been turned down by the Americans whom he had most admired. In addition, he cleverly played a delicate chess game with the big bully China to receive its support to gain back the independence for his people despite the constant threat reminiscent from the historical conflict and oppression by this neighbor that his motherland had had to endure for the past 1000 years. The reason why Ho Chi Minh declared the liberation of the south is because Ngo Dinh Diem broke the Geneva Agreement. Here goes the commencement of the Vietnam War. Finally, the US was the main player that fought the war. The South Vietnamese were indifferent about the war. The ARVN were highly corrupted and embarrassingly incompetent. As a result, the communists won.

Despite being agonized with anger and sadness, I feel very sorry for the naïveté and ignorance possessed by these so-called Vietnam War experts from the Western civilization. Among ourselves, we do know that they are lies. However, what good will it do in restoring the truth if our opinions are not widely voiced to the rest of world outside our community, especially in the Universities, newspaper, prestigious magazines such as Time, Newsweek, etc. The voice of the forgotten people – South Vietnamese in particular and Vietnamese who embrace freedom and democracy in general – has been suppressed for a long period of time. It is now the time for us, young and old, to step up. We all must provide more encouragement and less criticism to the people who intimately participated in the Vietnam War to come forward with more evidence about the Vietnam War. With the guidance from the old generation and many disclosed information, we the younger generations will speak out to restore the truth that our parents, brothers, and sisters did not have a chance to express. It is a struggle! It should start from every class room in the Universities and every article of a newspaper or magazine. We must generate more websites such as this one to provide more information to everybody. We must construct more literatures such as books and articles at least in both English and Vietnamese regarding the Vietnam War from OUR perspective. Many informative articles and books such as “Nhung Bi Mat Dang Sau Cuoc Chien Viet Nam” written by journalist Tu Gan and others should be translated, of course with the permissions from the copyright owners, into multiple languages such as English, French, etc. Moreover, we should also participate in the movie industry to provide the producers and directors with accurate information about the war and the South Vietnamese. Is there one single movie that recognizes the fact that the people of South Vietnam DID fight the war too? We have been non-existent in the eyes of the US media. If Hollywood was kind enough to include these people, it portrayed them as cowards, murderers, and indifferent and incompetent corruptors. To name a few movies, “Platoon,” “A Bright Shining Lie,” “Heaven and Earth,” “We Were Soldiers Once,” “A Quiet American,” etc. “Con Rong va Chau Tien” will definitely make a great comeback. I have no doubt that our people possess great talents. I strongly suggest that once we as the first generation of Vietnamese Americans have settled in, we should encourage our second generation and the younger first generation to diversity their educational background by exploring other fields outside technical domain such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and engineering. It is a practical matter that without a technical background the Asian Americans in general will have many remarkable hurdles to overcome in gaining a spot for themselves in this relatively democratic society. However, things have changed. There have been more and more Asian Americans holding high-ranking positions in the governmental jobs. Thus it is a delicate balance that parents must examine in order to foster success for their children yet still retain the love for their Vietnamese people and country.

Long live Dai Viet!

I had not been born when president Diem was murdered, but I am so proud that Vietnam has a president who stood up for the independence of our country. If president Diem' life was not cut short, Vietnam would be strong, rich, democratic country. We would not yield land, and sea to China.

Thank you for providing an accurate picture of the great South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem. Twelve years and 58,000 American deaths after President Diem's brutal assassination, the Communists, with the Soviet Union's and Red China's aid, invaded South Vietnam, slaughtering tens of thousands and enslaving the entire Southeast Asian nation. 

While all this took place, US President Gerald Ford stood idly by and did absolutely nothing, thus betraying the South Vietnamese people and all of the Americans soldiers who fought and/or died believing they were sent to Vietnam to defend freedom. History proved that they were shamelessly used as canon-fodder for the benefit of the US armaments industry, the Federal Reserve banksters and well-connected government contractors who profited beyond imagination from the war. Bush's current war against Iraq is a new and improved version of the same scam and fraud against the American people.

Thank you for providing an authoritative defense of President Diem from all the frivolous accusation, repeated over and over again until one would think that his detractors had been hypnotized. However, I urge all of Diem's supporters not to go blaming the United States for his death. Kennedy was an embarassment to this nation and I think his betrayal of Diem was just one of his wrongdoings. 

The only reason so many Americans supported his overthrow was that they were lied to by the communist propaganda machine and the supposed "protest" suicides. Most Americans these days think it would have been a better idea to stick in the war, and a great amount of respect is given to Vietnam Veterans.

In any case, the truth needs to come out, especially when so many people accept uncritically what their teachers tell them.

Thank you for providing this webpage. I was misinformed in my history class in high school about the eventual assination of Ngo Dinh Diem. My dad repetitive told me about the US coup to get Diem. Unfortunately, I was blinded by the patriotism I had for this country, I did not realize we (USA) -- speak loosely -- would do such a thing when a man like Diem is faithfully strong and committed to seeing his people be freed of oppression. 

Finding the truth has been the biggest embarassment of my life. As much as I am educated, I am still blinded by the one sided view by the American education system. It is something impossible to filter propaganda from facts and to provide a full reasonable view of the whole situation, but as a person, with time, the casuality that have been lost is worth our devoted days and nights to rationalize. And to my dad ... I know he may not read this but I am truly sorry for the remarks I made because of my one-sided view.

Khi Tổng thống Ngô đ́nh Diệm bị lật đổ tôi mới có 10 tuổi, nhưng tôi vẫn nhớ những ngày trước đó cuộc sống của cha mẹ tôi, cũng đầy đủ, mặc dù ba tôi chỉ là 1 thư kư kế toán ở nha thương cảng Sài G̣n, gia đ́nh đông con do ba tôi có 2 vợ. Tôi c̣n nhớ những lúc ba tôi dẫn anh em chúng tôi đi xem triển lăm thắng lợi phẩm thu được từ việt cộng, hay xem triển lăm kinh tế ở vườn Tao Đàn sau đó đi ăn ḅ bảy món ở Phú Nhuận. Tôi nhớ hoài những ngày tháng êm đềm của thời thơ ấu dưới chế độ của Tổng thống Diệm, tôi thường mơ ước trở lại những ngày thơ mộng đó.

Nhưng bất hạnh cho Việt Nam là bên cạnh Tổng thống Diệm có thêm những người như ông Nhu, với bà Nhu và ông Thục đă làm mất ḷng dân để cho Mỹ lợi dụng lật đổ Tổng thống Diệm. Tôi nghĩ nếu không có những người này, hay là Tổng thống Diệm là phật tử trong đất nước VN đa số theo phật gia, hoặc là đa số dân VN là Thiên Chúa Giáo như Phi luật tân với Tổng thống Diệm là công giáo, th́ lịch sử VN đă đổi khác. 

Nói tóm lại tôi luôn luôn luyến tiếc, hoài niệm về giai đoạn do Tổng thống Diệm lănh đạo và luôn luôn kính trọng Tổng thống Diệm.

When President Ngo Dinh Diem was assasinated I was only 10 years old. But I still remember in those days our life was happy and we had enough, even though my Dad was only a secretary at Saigon Sea Port and we have a big family with many children from my Dad’s two wives. I remember the times when Dad took us to see the exhibit of weapon captured from the Viet Cong, or the economy exhibition at Tao Dan public park, then we all went for the seven-coursse of beef dinner in Phu Nhuan. I always remember these happy days of my childhood under the regime of President Diem, and I often dream going back to those happy days.

Unfortunately for Viet Nam, next to President Diem were people like Mr. Nhu, Madam Nhu, and Mr. Thuc, their actions caused the lost of support from our people and gave the CIA the mean to stage a coup d’etat to depose President Diem. I think if these people were not around, or President Diem were a Buddhist in a nation where the majority of people are Buddhists, or the the majority of people are Catholic like Phillipine with President Diem as a Catholic, then the History of Vietnam might have been different.

In brief, I always yearn for and remember the good time when President Diem was the head of our country, and I always respect President Diem.

Those of us who experienced Communism in all its forms and its basic unitary evil, and then saw in Vietnam a chance to struggle for the victory of freedom, lost once again in 1975, can now mobilize for the battle of historic truth. Now our chance of victory in the name of truth is possible as we study the documents and leave our mark in an explanatory history of what happened. 

Only through our devotion to the well-being and freedom of the Vietnamese people could we earn the right to attempt understanding of what happened and why. Only by caring for the Vietnamese, as much as we cared for our own can we achieve a feel for their history, their plight and their strength. We may be aging but our experiences will never fade. 

The dead are calling on us to devote ourselves to understanding why:

  • purity of motive-- as in the case of President Diem-- lost 

  • and commitment to slavishly follow the models of evil-- Stalinist and Maoist Communism-- won, as in the case of Ho Chi Minh, Truong Chinh, Giap, Thanh and Le Duan. 

Yet, the end is clear: the evil ones also come face to face to be judged by the same Creator of us all as we do. Let our honoring of the dead through dedication to truthful rendition of their history bathe away all our sins and theirs, vindicating them and us. 

We must make others understand, despite the veil of lies and deceptions that to this day cloud the history of Vietnam's struggle with Red evil, that the massive shelves of Vietnam War histories sorely need revision. Consider the Internet a weapon given us by God to strike blows for truth against falsehoods. No academic shame will stop us from respectfully honoring the dead with truth and understanding. We are all obligate historians now!

Tôi biết về TT Diệm và cả Gia Đ́nh họ Ngô. Tiếc thương ông là người con có hiếu với mẹ; thương anh em và dân tộc VN. TT DIỆM xứng đáng cho chúng ta tôn thờ cả hôm nay cho tới mai sau ....... 

I know President Diem and the Ngo family. Mourning the lost, he was a devoted son to his Mother, beloved brother to his brothers and sisters, a patriot to Vietnam. President Diem should be honored and remembered today and for generations to come …

TIẾC THƯƠNG

(Kẻ hậu sinh xin đốt nén hương ḷng tưởng niệm 
nhân ngày giỗ Cố Tổng Thống Ngô Đ́nh Diệm, 
vị Tổng Thống khả kính đầu tiên 
của nước Việt Nam Cộng Ḥa) 
 

Một ánh sao băng, tắt giữa trời 
Giang sơn từ đấy tối thêm thôi!
Thương người nghĩa khí tàn cơn mộng 
Tiếc bậc tài hoa úa mảnh đời! 
Khinh bọn túi cơm, loài rắn rết 
Giận phường giá áo, lũ đười ươi 
Nếu không phản phúc, không tham vọng 
Đất nước giờ đây hẳn kịp người!

Every body dies, only their names live forever. The people who sabotaged the Ngo Dinh Diem government should never be forgiven.

I was so glad that I saw this website! Presenting information to the whole world about what really happened in Vietnam. The world deserve to know the other side, the real side. Truely, Ngo Dinh Diem wasn't as repressive or as dictorial as many have believed. He had no other choice in protecting the freedom of his people. Thank you so much for the informative webpage.

How different things might have been. Hundreds of thousands of lives would have been saved had Ngo Dinh Diem been left to govern his country without interference. Those irresponsible US journalists, who in 1962/63 just sent back the misleading 'Saigon' version of events in South Vietnam, were the catalyst that set off the three maverick White House officials to launch their ill-fated coup. Karnow, Sheehan, etc. have painted such a false picture of Ngo Dinh Diem for our history books. I only hope that one day the record will be set straight.
