Charles Trueheart presents Diplomats at War

A presentation by Charles Trueheart at the American Library in Paris. Filmed on 04/04/2024 with a live audience both in person and on Zoom. For many members of the American Library in Paris community, Charles Trueheart requires no introduction. Trueheart was the Director of the American Library from 2007 to 2017, during which time he oversaw immense growth and change at our beloved institution. Trueheart has recently published a memoir about his family’s involvement in American political history, especially the Vietnam War. His godfather was Frederick “Fritz” Nolting, the U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam from 1961 to 1963, and his father was William Trueheart, Nolting’s second-in-command. Nolting and William Trueheart were close friends for many years, but their friendship was torn apart by the war that went on to traumatize the populations of both the U.S. and Vietnam for generations. In Diplomats at War, Trueheart draws from personal memory, family records, and his decades of experience as a political reporter to contemplate the breakdown of a friendship alongside the story of the U.S.’s disastrous actions in Vietnam.
