N2  - Assesses the impact of the NLF's diplomatic strategy on the conduct and outcome of hostilities during the Vietnam War. Contends that the NLF's success in convincing the world that it was independent of Hanoi was critical in upsetting the political and military balance in South Vietnam and frustrating the US war effort. Also argues that differences in goals among Nothern and Southern communists resulted in disagreements over responses to American intervention and seriously undermined revolutionary efforts
