About this ebook
American ambassador Maxwell Gordon Amberley has a reputation as a tough negotiator. Yet when he is sent to Vietnam, the dilemma he faces throws him into self-doubt. He is made arbiter of his nation's fate on the one hand, and of the life and death of the ruling house of Vietnam on the other. Out of every international crisis comes at least one great book. From the explosive, bitter and savage battlefront of Vietnam, Morris West's masterly novel The Ambassador brings to life the early days of the Vietnam War and its backroom political dealings, foreshadowing the repercussions that continue today.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Story of US ambassador sent to Saigon during the US support of South Vietnam against the Viet Cong supported by China. Interesting to read the view of US political interests in the region as well as the different views held by local Vietnamese including the leader.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5morris L. West had a charm in which he swathed his explorations of American Government and foreign relations. He was, an Australian, probably a journalist, to my mild surprise. Well this is his take on what happens when the leader of one of America's client states, in this case the Republic of South Vietnam, has a coup. which was not greatly in keeping with the facade the Americans were trying to throw over their exploitation of South Vietnam. The prose is readable, and the conclusions not surprising, given the dense anti-Communist stance of the USA at that time.
