- Description
- Episode Description
- Ngo Ba Thanh was a consultant in international comparative law who spent years in jail in South Vietnam for her pro-Viet Cong views. She describes going to meetings at the British Ambassador's residence as president of the International Women Association. The only Vietnamese woman attending these diplomatic dinners, she talks of diplomats, dignitaries and military officials being impressed by her forthright views on politics and the war. Nevertheless her outspoken views, especially those warning General William Westmoreland that the US would not succeed in Vietnam, resulted in her detention for over 2 years.
