Kenneth on Recommending William Donovan to Work with General Sarit

Donovan, William J. (William Joseph), 1883-1959 Sarit Thanarat, 1908-1963

During work in Thailand, Donovan was to create an aid program for General Pao. Kenneth, however, realized that General Sarit was a rising power, and that Donovan should also pay attention to him. Donovan created a plan for Sarit as well, this being a good idea as General Pao soon left for Switzerland while Sarit became Prime Minister.
