Misalliance

Edward Miller is Associate Professor of History at Dartmouth College.

Larry Berman, author of Zumwalt: The Life and Times of Admiral Elmo Russell "Bud" Zumwalt, Jr.:
A monumental contribution to our understanding of America's misguided intervention in Vietnam. Great books advance knowledge as well as historical debate, and this is exactly what Miller achieves. Misalliance could easily be the best new book of the year.

Keith Weller Taylor, author of The Birth of Vietnam:
Miller rejects the simplistic and partisan interpretations that have dominated earlier accounts of America's partnership with Vietnam. Misalliance will be not only a major advance in our understanding of Ngo Dinh Diem and US-Vietnamese relations, but it will fundamentally alter the direction of scholarship on the Vietnam War.

Andrew Preston, author of The War Council: McGeorge Bundy, the NSC, and Vietnam:
An extraordinary book, brilliantly conceived and cogently argued. Miller transcends the scholarly and political polemics of Vietnam War literature, presenting readers a fresh and original take on Ngo Dinh Diem and South Vietnam's relationship with the US. Misalliance is sure to be greeted with widespread acclaim.
