[Buddha-l] Re: Buddhist pacifism

Its the same "Ky". He is definitely a Buddhist - and his memoir is an 
attempt to portray his political career as part of a movement of 
Buddhists to save Vietnam from both Communism and foreign (ie, Chinese, 
French, Japanese, US....) domination. The book is co-authored by Marvin 
J. Wolf, who is something of an accomplished co-author. For instance, he 
also co-wrote a book with Russell Means: "Where White Men Feat to 
Tread". Here's the link to amazon page for the book (I think I 
misspelled his name before - its "Nguyen Cao Ky"):
