There is one, which is from some talks he gave at a convent.  i.e. It wasn't written as an autobiography, but spoken.

LITTLE STORY OF MY LONG LIFE
Oh!  How interesting!  Thank you for sharing!  :cowboy:

Yes, that’s what he’s saying, that it’s well researched with much factual information … for those who are capable of sifting out the author’s bias.  In the intro on Amazon (not sure who wrote it), you can see a strong bias against sedevacantism.  Also talks about +Thuc working with the CIA to bolster a corrupt government … which is your perspective if you’re not anti-Communist.
Thank you for pointing that out Ladislaus!
AMDGJMJ will you please share what the book says about CIA & Thuc, because
Thuc clearly states in his autobiography that the CIA, and Henry Cabot Lodge were directly responsible for the murder of his 3 brothers. Thank you.

The book came in the mail yesterday.   I will try and remember to share anything related to the CIA with you once I get around to reading it. ;)

Excerpt from the autobiography of +Thuc (3rd Chapter):

Unfortunately it is Hué's lot to remain poor since the Vietcong (Communists) crept in throughout my diocese that was about 50 kilometres away from the Communist border.  The Communist Guerrillas invaded our two provinces and forbade our priests to repay the loans to the government in Saigon.  An unimaginable accusation from Archbishop Dién resulted from this situation. He had been named successor at the seat in Hué by the Holy See when I was banished to Europe.  At the time he accused me of pocketing the millions that Saigon had lent for reforestation.

    The Holy Congregation for Propagation of the Faith wrote me a letter that reported this infamous accusation the moment I returned to Rome, after I had buried my niece.  She was my brother Nhu’s eldest daughter; she was run over near Paris by two trucks driven by Americans.  

    I answered the Holy Congregation immediately that they should let my accuser be known: first, that Bishop Diên, who lives in the bishop’s palace constructed with my own money, ask the Father Procurator of the mission residing in the Bishop palace to hand over the docuмents relevant to the loans granted to the parishes for the reforestation;  second, that Bishop Diên should inspect the large coconut and filao plantation near Langeô; third, Didn’t Bishop Diên collect the rent from the building I constructed myself, which is across from the house that he lives in?; finally, I reserve the right to quote him in the court of Rota because of slander.
