Later life missing

This article barely passes over Dinh's later life in the US, which should at least have a section IMO. It also doesn't mention his death except the date. It therefore fails Featured article criterion 1b, comprehensiveness. Also, this is fairly minor, but this article should be written in American English as the Vietnam War is of predominantly American interest. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 16:44, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Potential source

The following biography of Lucien Conein is relatively recent and outlines his role in the 1963 South Vietnamese coup:

Rust, William J. (December 2019). "CIA Operations Officer Lucien Conein: A Study in Contrasts and Controversy" (PDF). Studies in Intelligence. 63 (4). Washington, D.C.: Center for the Studies of Intelligence: 43-58. Retrieved June 14, 2020.{{cite journal}}: CS1 maint: ref duplicates default (link)

Perhaps someone more familiar with subject matter can tell where it might fill in the gaps. - Location (talk) 19:05, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
