Lâm Văn Phát Life story
Major General Lâm Văn Phát was a Vietnamese army officer. He is best known for leading two coup attempts against General Nguyễn Khánh in September 1964 and February 1965. Although both failed to result in his taking power, the latter caused enough instability that it forced Khánh to resign and go into exile.
