  Diem's alliance with Washington has long been seen as a Cold War relationship gone bad, undone by either American arrogance or Diem's stubbornness. Edward Miller argues that this misalliance was more than just a joint effort to contain communism. It was also a means for each side to shrewdly pursue its plans for nation building in South Vietnam.
