Abstract
- The article "Lost in Translation: Vietnam, the Paris Talks, and the Chennault Affair" explores the intricate diplomatic negotiations during the Vietnam War in 1968, focusing on President Thiệu's reluctance to engage in peace talks due to concerns about the NLF and Hanoi's intentions. The narrative challenges traditional depictions of Anna Chennault's role in the affair, highlighting the complexities of South Vietnamese politics and the influence of key figures like Averell Harriman. By examining Vietnamese sources and U.S. archives, the text sheds light on the intersection of diplomacy and domestic politics, emphasizing the importance of a nuanced understanding of historical events.
