Character of the Viet Nam War Gives the Breaks to the Communists
A Vietnam era portrait shows how both Americans and loyal Vietnamese aid the Communists in South Vietnam. Vignettes describe a village woman’s beating, a public apology by a citizen, a failed ambush, rioting near Buddhist pagodas, a dauntless but indecisive Saigon police, and American advisers unable to spur counterattacks. The piece contrasts incompetence and fear with occasional local governance and endangers troops in the delta.
