Talk:Central Office for South Vietnam

?
Blood, Jake. The Tet Effect: Intelligence and the Public Perception of War. Routledge, 2005. p. 87-88, mentions COSVN as a name used for the Central Committee of the People's Revolutionary Party. --Soman (talk) 14:01, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Bias
The article is biased to the official American point of view that the COSVN did "exist". I have tried to correct this, but the critics' point of view needs to be added. The notion of its "existence" needs to be dealt with carefully. There are different issues:
 * Whether the Communist forces in the South were centrally commanded. (I think the Tet Offensive shows that they were.)
 * Whether this central command was geographically centralised in a headquarters, a "bamboo Pentagon". (I think this is unlikely in a guerilla conflict in which the opposing side had command of the air.)
 * Whether this headquarters, if it existed, had the history ascribed to it in the official US account.--Jack Upland (talk) 00:54, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I do agree about the American PoV bias but from a different aspect, the entity is extensive documented by modern Vietnamese sources including all its structures, responsibility and personel and yet the article describe it from a vague and speculative war-time US PoV as if we still have no way to know.
