'''Nguyễn Ngọc Bích''' (1911–1966) was a French-educated engineer, a hero in the Vietnamese resistance against the French colonists,<ref name=Buttinger.1967b /><sup>:850. </sup> <sup>[[#Primary sources, quotations|Note]]</sup><span id="Primary sources, quotations jump1"></span> 
a French-educated medical doctor, an intellectual and politician, who proposed an alternative viewpoint to avoid the high-casualty, high-cost war between [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Vietnam North Vietnam] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Vietnam South Vietnam].<ref name=Nguyen-Ngoc-Bich />
The [[commons:File:Nguyen Ngoc Bich Street.png|Nguyen-Ngoc-Bich street]] in the city of [[Cần Thơ]], [[Vietnam]], was named after him to honor and commemorate his feats (of sabotaging bridges to slow down the colonial French-army advances) and heroism (being on the French most-wanted list,<ref name=Cooper.1970 /><sup>:122</sup> imprisoned, subjected to an "intensive and unpleasant interrogation"<ref name=Cooper.1970 /><sup>:122</sup> that left a mark on his forehead,<sup>[[#bich-injury|Note]]</sup><span id="bich-injury-jump"></span> and exiled) during the [[Indochinese revolution|First Indochina War]].
Upon graduating from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89cole_polytechnique École polytechnique] (engineering military school under the French Ministry of Armed Forces) and then from the [[École des ponts ParisTech|École nationale des ponts et chaussées]] (civil engineering) in France in 1935,<!--{{sfn|Nguyen-Ngoc-Chau|2018}}--><ref name=NNC.2018 /> Dr. Bich returned to Vietnam to work for the French colonial government. After World War II, in 1945, he joined the [[Viet-Minh]], and became a senior commander in the Vietnamese resistance movement, and insisted on fighting for Vietnam's independence, not for communism.

of being betrayed by the Communist faction<sup>[[#NNBich-betrayed|Note]]</sup><span id="NNBich-betrayed jump"></span> of the [[Viet-Minh]] and apprehended by the French forces, he was saved from execution by a campaign for amnesty by his [[École polytechnique]] classmates based in Vietnam, mostly high-level officers of the French army,<!--{{sfn|Tran-Thi-Lien|2002|p=299}}--><ref name=Tran-Thi-Lien /><sup>: 299</sup> and was subsequently exiled to France, where he founded with friends and managed the Vietnamese publishing house Minh Tan (in Paris), which published many important works for the Vietnamese literature.<sup>[[#Minh Tan|Note]]</sup><span id="Minh Tan jump"></span> In parallel, he studied medicine and became a medical doctor. He was highly regarded in Vietnamese politics, and was suggested by the French in 1954 as an alternative to [[Ngo Dinh Diem]] as the sixth [[Leaders_of_South_Vietnam#Prime_Ministers|prime minister]] of the [[State of Vietnam]] under the former Emperor [[Bao Dai]] as Head of State,<!--{{efn|See Section [[#Intellectual and politician|Intellectual and politician]] and Langguth (2000).{{sfn|Langguth|2000|p=84}}}}--><ref name=Langguth.2000 /><sup>:84</sup> who selected [[Ngo Dinh Diem]] as prime minister.

A large majority of the information in this article came from the master document
''Nguyen Ngoc Bich (1911–1966): A Biography,''<!--{{sfn|Nguyen-Ngoc-Chau|Vu-Quoc-Loc|2023}}--><ref name=NNC.VQL.2023 /> which contains even more information, including primary-source evidence and photos, than presented here.
Important historical events that affected [[Nguyen Ngoc Bich|Bich]]'s adult life, together with those mentioned in his 1962 paper (e.g., failed agrarian reform, napalm bombs, famine, conquest for rice, etc.) are summarized, in particular the atmosphere in which [[Nguyen Ngoc Bich|Bich]] had lived for ten years working for the French colonialists (from 1935 to 1945), and the historical conditions that drove this French-educated engineer to become a
"Francophile anticolonialist"<sup>[[#Francophile anticolonialists|Note 1]]<span id="Francophile anticolonialists jump"></span>, [[#Primary sources, quotations|Note 2]]</sup><span id="Primary sources, quotations jump2"></span> and to join the [[Viet Minh]] in 1945 (e.g., the French brutal repressions in 1940 and 1945, the power vacuum after the Japanese ''coup de force'' in 1945, [[Ho Chi Minh]]'s call for a general uprising from [[:vi:Chiến_khu_Tân_Trào|Tân Trào]], the 1945 [[August Revolution]], the Black Sunday on 1945 Sep 2 in Saigon, etc.).  The key principle is to summarize a historical event only when it was directly related to [[Nguyen Ngoc Bich|Bich]]'s activities.
Care is exercised in selecting references and quotations that complement, but not duplicate, other Wikipedia articles at the time of this writing.
For example, the history and the general use of [[napalm]] bombs, which [[Nguyen Ngoc Bich|Bich]] mentioned in his 1962 article, are not summarized.
Regarding the French using American-made [[napalm]] bombs in the [[First Indochina War]],
well-known battles<sup>[[#Napalm battles|Note]]</sup><span id="Napalm battles jump"></span> are also not summarized.

== First Indochina War ==
The broader historic events of [[World War II]] and the [[First Indochina War]]---specifically, the short interwar period between end of the former and the beginning of the later—led to the context in which [[Draft:Nguyen Ngoc Bich|Nguyen Ngoc Bich]] fought the French colonists until he was captured.
The activities directly or indirectly affected Bich's life by four historic individuals are summarized.
French General [[de Gaulle]], by his desire to reconquer Indochina as a French colony, was a main force that led to the First Indochina War, in which [[Draft:Nguyen Ngoc Bich|Bich]] fought.
Ho Chi Minh, founder and leader of the [[Viet Minh]], called for the general uprising---against the French colonists and the Japanese occupiers---to which [[Draft:Nguyen Ngoc Bich|Bich]] responded.  US President [[FDR|Franklin Delano Roosevelt]] ardent anticolonialism could have prevented the two Indochina wars, and changed the course of history.  US President [[Harry Truman]] was a reason that the [[First Indochina War]] is now called the “French-American” War in Vietnamese literature,<ref name="Lady Borton" /> and through his support for the French war effort supplied napalm bombs, which [[Draft:Nguyen Ngoc Bich|Bich]] mentioned in his 1962 paper.  The US funded more than 30% of the war cost in 1952 under US President [[Eisenhower]], and "nearly 80%" in 1954 under [[Truman]].<sup>[[#First Indochina War cost|Note]]</sup><span class="anchor" id="First Indochina War cost jump"></span>
