Dictator installed by the United States in South Vietnam after the Geneva Accords in order to prevent the Communists from winning control of Vietnam in a democratic election. Repressed Buddhists. Eventually assassinated by the military.
Ngo Dinh Diem was like George W. Bush, but in Vietnam.

An able man killed by propaganda, and presidential shallowness. His death insured major US involvement in Vietnam and, perhaps, eventual defeat.

Sink or swim with Ngo Dinh Diem or swim and sink first kill a chink. (please no offence, I wish I had another word)
