“A year ago yesterday, Maj. Gen. Nguyen Khanh in his first swift, silent coup d’etat entered the Prime Minister’s Office with three stars, a modest black goatee and a reputation for being an expert poker player.

A year ago, he was the frontman Prime Minister for other generals and political rivals; today he is the behind-the-scenes strongman officially named only commander-in-chief of the Vietnamese Armed Forces and Chairman of the powerful Armed Forces Council, which has now officially become a super-government making all key decisions in the anti-communist sphere of influence in Viet Nam.”
