This dissertation examines self-immolations by both Vietnamese Buddhists and Americans during the Vietnam War. It argues that the self-immolations in Vietnam that began with Thich Quang Duc in 1963 and the subsequent Buddhist Crisis led to the sudden and dramatic collapse of the nine-year Ngo Dinh Diem regime and altered the trajectory of U.S. involvement in Vietnam. American self-immolations were extreme political acts of self-sacrifice. They were a form of nonviolent protest inspired by the Buddhist religious tradition in Vietnam, but also had a historical context rooted in a uniquely American nonviolent tradition that encompasses the Quakers, Abolitionists, and Civil Rights Movement. American self-immolations occurred in greater numbers than the historiography shows and were deliberate acts of protest and solidarity.
