Le Tat Dieu

Some Words of Advice to the Commander-in-chief: What You Don't Know Might Hurt Your Country Le Tat Dieu

"Your manuscript (Letters to Bloomington, Ill.) offers a great deal of wisdom to the people of America."-Helen K. Copley, Publisher of the San Diego Union TribuneSome Words of Advice to the Commander-in-Chief shares insight from a former Vietnamese officer whose thorough research has provided him with an in-depth understanding of how the Iraq War became such a quagmire and how the United States can avoid such disasters in the future. Long-time immigrant Le Tat Dieu worked as a writer and journalist in Vietnam and fought with the Americans as a member of the South Vietnamese army. As a result, he has an interesting perspective on the Iraq War. While presenting a simple and clear analysis of the war, he reveals the ignorant and shocking miscalculations by former President George W. Bush and members of his administration. As Le Tat Dieu exposes the horrifically wrong premises that motivated the actions of Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Bremer, and many others, he examines the consequences of invading Iraq and the eventual occupation which no current or future United States President should ignore.
