Overview
Neste artigo, examina-se a adaptação de uma pessoa histórica, o oficial da Força Aérea e agente da CIA Edward G. Landsdale, como modelo para personagens ficcionais em três romances – um inglês, um americano e um francês – que abordam os primeiros anos do envolvimento americano no Vietnã. É delineada sua carreira política, bem como os antecedentes históricos de sua contribuição para a criação do Estado anticomunista do Vietnã do Sul. Em seguida, faz-se um estudo de sua ficcionalização em The Quiet American , de Graham Greene (1955), The Ugly American (1958), de Eugene Burdick e William J. Lederer, e Yellow Fever , de Jean Lartéguy (Tradução inglesa de 1965). Observa-se que o modelo de Greene é questionado, enquanto todos os três romances, na verdade, subestimam a importância histórica de Landsdale.
