From: The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008

Duong Van Minh , 1916-2001, Vietnamese army officer and political leader. A military adviser (1962-63) to President Diem , he helped to overthrow Diem in 1963. He was head of government (1963-64), after which he went into exile. Minh returned in 1968, serving as an opposition leader against President Thieu . A presidential candidate in 1971, Minh withdrew, charging election rigging. He returned briefly as president in 1975, in an unsuccessful conciliation effort but was placed in detention after the Communist takeover.
