Roots of war (1945-1953) (60 min.) -- America's Mandarin (1954-1963) (60 min.)
Narrator: Will Lyman.
Roots of war: Examines the period of French colonial domination of Vietnam and the rise of Ho Chi Minh toward the end of World War II. Ho Chi Minh declared independence in Hanoi, but the British helped the French regain control of Saigon, effectively dividing the country.
America's mandarin: The division of Vietnam brought Catholics and pro-French northerners to the South. With help from the U.S. in the form of monetary aid and military advisors, Ngo Dinh Diem established a government. This episode follows the course of Diem's presidency through the 1963 coup.
