Summary
This book examines the surprising World War II alliance between the American Office of Strategic Services and Vietnamese revolutionary Ho Chi Minh. It details how the OSS collaborated with Ho's Viet Minh forces against Japanese occupation in Indochina during 1945. The work explores this brief partnership's origins, operations, and ultimate dissolution as postwar priorities shifted. Bartholomew-Feis analyzes how American intelligence officers worked alongside the future North Vietnamese leader, providing a nuanced look at this little-known chapter that preceded decades of conflict between the United States and Vietnam.
