As far as I know, The Quiet American is reasonably accurate. There are some slight changes from the facts - the bombs mentioned in the book may have gone off in a different sequence. Of course, the characters Fowler, Pyle and Phuong did not historically exist but they could have. The main historical facts about Vietnam at the time are accurate - opium was smoked, the French were the colonial masters, the Cadoists, General The, Viet Minh etc all existed. As regards the Pyle character, while he as such never existed, he could have been any of a number of other CIA characters that arrived when the French lost soon afterwards at Dien Bien Phu. The author, who had spent a few summers in Saigon, used the fictious character to bring out his point about those CIA advisors, even if he placed him in Saigon a few years earlier than the real CIA men.
