Refugees in Saigon era shaped by fear and war
The interview outlines who the refugees are including military men and U S agency employees, and notes some North Vietnamese politicians who fled in 1954. It discusses motives for leaving, whether to stay in the United States, and the difficulty of predicting Vietnam’s post war government and regional power dynamics with Soviet and Chinese influence. It also references Nebraska youths in a Junior Lawmen program and local community notes.
