Also had had a daughter at 14. So all of those questions led me to pursue them. A very aristocratic family. We need to step back and say exactly who madam nhu was. He brotherinlaw, the brother of her husband became president of South Vietnam in 1956 or 55. 54 he becomes premier. So madam nhu was the de facto first lady, because the president of South Vietnam and theres a few titles before that, but for simplicity well calm him the president. He was a bachelor. That makes him sound like he was going to vegas on the weekends, but he was really very moral, he slept on a hardwooden cots. He signpersonally signed entry visas. Theres this kind of very catholic austere man who needs a first lady, someone to host the parties and go to the orphanages, host the flower shows. So madam nhu, his younger brothers wife becomes this woman and shes perfect for it. She looks great for the cameras, likes to be out there, and this sort of gives her a voice. All of her life i think she had been looking for
More vigorously and with greater force and depth than had been anticipated. What do you think patton would have done in that circumstance . Landing an army on the beach with no opposition . Would he do you think he might have dug in . You know, thats a counter factual and historians always love counter factuals because i cant be wrong. I can say, yeah, he would have dug in just like lucas did. Or no, he would have raced to rome and the story of the anzio landings would have been considerably different. My belief is had general lucas taken that small core and pushed inland they would have been destroyed, that they would have been annihilated. Not only would we have had the agony of four months at anzio, but that we would have probably had the agony of an entire corps being annihilated. So im a defending of lucas even though i recognize hes the wrong man for the job. Hes replaced by general trusscot, the one who was born to lead men in the dark of night. He was reliesed by lucian. Yes, s
Where she lived in paris. She avoided pars because she could have been extradited. Correct, yes. Rented the apartment, is that correct . The apartment that they owned in paris . Madame nhu told me she was given the apartment. She always implied it was given to her by the American Government because they felt bad for knocking off her husband and brotherinlaw and had no other place to go. They needed to keep her in a safe place. So when she would leave paris, she would rent out that apartment and get the extra cash from it. Thats where i found her. My vietnamese is really bad, but every now and then, i will go online and try to decipher my way through a little article. I found. This article written in the early 2000s by a guy who claimed interview madame nhu. That sort of rung a bell. I thought back to my notes. I thought, oh, yeah, i see she wrote a letter to claire booth from this address close to the eiffel tower. Ill go there and see if i can find her. This is when i thought theres n
