Early life
Born on 16 October 1895[4] in Tây Ninh Province during the French colonial period, Nguyễn Văn Tâm was originally a school teacher who was picked by the French in the early 1940s to be the District Chief of Cai Lậy, in Cochinchina. Here in the Mekong Delta, he had already earned the nickname Tiger of Cai Lậy as a notorious torturer of peasants during the revolts of the 1930s.[5]
He is the paternal grandfather of Jonathan Van-Tam, Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England.
Career
After the August Revolution, following the Japanese surrender in 1945, Tâm was imprisoned by the new Viet Minh authorities for crimes against the people but was soon freed by the returning French military.
He was among the government ministers presented on June 1, 1946, at the proclamation of the "Republic of Cochinchina"—a first, abortive, attempt of the French to create a post-colonial client state. "Premier" Nguyen van Tinh was so humiliated by the French that after six months he hanged himself.[5] When in 1949, in agreement with the Bảo Đại the French created the State of Vietnam, Tâm was sent north as governor of Tonkin to do battle with the communist-insurgent Democratic Republic of Vietnam. In June 1952 he became Prime Minister while his son, Nguyễn Văn Hinh, was appointed Chief of Staff of the French auxiliary Vietnamese National Army. He resigned his premiership on 12 January 1954 by prince Bửu Lộc.[6][7]
From 1955 he lived in exile in the United States.[8]
