Abstract:
The Ky government's swiftly executed military operations to reassert control over Da Nang opened up a new period of unrest that may culminate in an all-out showdown with the Buddhist hierarchy and its sympathizers. Buddhist reaction to the government move, first taking the form of injured innocence and restraint coupled with appleals for US support, began hardening into threats of active protests including armed resistance. Nevertheless, Saigon officials appeared determined to press on for a final solution to the problems of defiance in I Corps and of pressure from Buddhist "extremists."
