Diego García de Paredes Diego García de Paredes ( 1466 – 1534 ) , Spanish soldier and duel list , was a native of Trujillo in Extremadura , Spain . He never commanded an army or rose to the position of a general , but he was a notable figure in the wars of the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century , when personal prowess had still a considerable share in deciding the result of actions . His native town and its district , which lie between Badajoz and Madrid , produced many of the most noted " conquistadores " of America , including the Pizarro family . Diego himself served in his youth in the war of Granada . His strength , daring and activity fitted him to shine in operations largely composed of night marches , escalades , surprises and hand - to - hand combats . The main scene of his achievements was in Italy , and he betook himself to it — on his own showing — not in search of glory , but because he had killed a relation of his own , Ruy Sanchez de Vargas , in a street fight arising out of a quarrel about a horse . He fled to Rome , then under the rule of the Borgias . Diego was a distant relation to the cardinal of Santa Cruz ( Bernardino López de Carvajal ) , a favorite with Pope Alexander VI , who was in conflict with the barons of the Romagna and took Diego into his service . He remained a soldier of the pope until he killed a man in a personal quarrel and found it necessary to pass over to the enemy . He then became acquainted with the Colonnas , who appreciated his services . The wars between Ferdinand V of Castilla ( the Catholic king ) and Louis XII gave him a more creditable opening . The Spanish general Gonsalvo de Córdoba employed him and trusted him : and he took part in all the wars of Italy on the frontier of Navarre , and once against the Turks on the Danube , till 1530 . His countrymen made him the hero of many Münchhausen - like stories of personal prowess . It was said that be held a bridge single - handed against 200 Frenchmen , that he stopped the wheel of a water - mill , and so forth . In the " Brief Summary " of his life and deeds attributed to him , and printed at the end of the " Chronicle of the Great Captain " , published in 1584 at Alcalá de Henares , he lays no claim to having done more than was open to a very athletic man . He was killed at Bologna in 1534 by a fall while engaged in a jumping - match with some of the younger officers of the army . His body was carried to his native town Trujillo , and buried in the church of Santa Maria Mayor in 1545 . In " Don Quixote " , the curate holds Diego up as an example of a real hero about whom one should read rather than about the lies in the tales of chivalry ( Part I Chapter XXXII ) . He had a son , also named Diego García de Paredes , who became a Conquistador and founded several cities in Venezuela .

Moyar is the author of the 2006 book " Triumph Forsaken : The Vietnam War , 1954 – 1965 " , a history that is considered revisionist by many American historians . In it he argues that Ngo Dinh Diem was an effective leader . Moyar states that supporting the November 1963 coup was one of the worst American mistakes of the war . The other biggest mistakes according to Moyar were : the failure to cut the Ho Chi Minh trail , and the United States Congress ' refusal to support the South Vietnam ese government after the 1973 Paris Peace Accords were violated , and the refusal of emergency aid to South Vietnam near the end of the war . " Triumph Forsaken " caused a great stir and many opinionative reviews , some negative , as well as some positive . In response to the reactions it created , " Triumph revisited : historians battle for the Vietnam War " , a collection of detailed reviews of the book by 15 different academic historians , edited by Andrew Wiest and Michael J . Doidge , was released in 2010 . The reviews are attached to responses by Moyar , mostly robust rebuttal of the criticism of his work .
