Pham Ngoc Thao

By Jesse Russell

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Colonel Phạm Ngọc Thảo, known to friends as Albert Thảo (1922-65), a major provincial leader in South Vietnam and infiltrator of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam, was a communist agent of the Vietminh and later the Vietnam People's Army. As the overseer of Ngo Dinh Nhu's Strategic Hamlet Program in the early 1960s, he deliberately forced the program forward at unsustainable speeds, constructing poorly-equipped and poorly-defended villages, in order to foster rural resentment against the regime of President Ngo Dinh Diem, Nhu's elder brother.
