Exile on Newberry Street: the leader of South Vietnam said he felt betrayed by the U.S. Though he didn't mind living here

Article Abstract:

Thieu followed a conniving route to the presidency of Vietnam in 1965, hedging his role in the 1963 assassination of Ngo Dinh Diem. He bitterly blamed America for abandoning South Vietnam and betraying him, but spent the last decade of his life in one of the nicer districts of New England.
