Biographical History
Archimedes L.A. Patti was a writer, historian, and retired Army lieutenant colonel best known for his work with Ho Chi Minh in 1945 and his subsequent book Why Viet Nam? : prelude to America's albatross (1980). After WWII, Patti was transferred to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) as head of a secret mission under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt designed to support anti-colonialism in Asia. Part of his mission was to befriend Ho Chi Minh and train Ho's men to fight the occupying French forces in Vietnam. He continued friendly relations with Ho and his representatives after leaving Vietnam. He subsequently became a successful writer and died in Winter Park, Florida in 1998 at age 84.
