Abstract
This article examines the rise and fall of Nguyễn Đức Thằng. The leader of the Revolutionary Development program after 1965, General Nguyễn Đức Thằng was viewed by top officials in the Johnson administration as the most promising reformist leader in the entire history of South Vietnam. Despite extensive American support for his goals, Nguyễn Đức Thằng's reformist objectives were thwarted by President Nguyễn Văn Thiệu and corrupt ARVN military elites.
