In an unprecedented account, hidden even from President Nixon himself, historian and global executive director of the Caux Round Table for Moral Capitalism Stephen B. Young uses once-secret files of the American ambassador to South Vietnam and long-overlooked documents from official government archives—including the foreign ministry of the Soviet Union—to reveal for the first time how Henry Kissinger personally and secretly schemed to irrevocably compromise South Vietnam’s chances for survival. Deeply researched and compellingly argued, Young’s new book, Kissinger’s Betrayal, provides new insight into both genuine Vietnamese Nation- alism and the French colonialism that marginalized and decentered the right of the Vietnamese people to live freely in an independent country of their own choosing.
