"The Vietnam War had been a costly conflict in lives and public funds for North Vietnam, the Viet Cong, South Vietnam and the Unites States. Much of Vietnam lay in ruins after years of bombing and fighting. Thousands fled South Vietnam, fearing the communist rule would produce arrests and and executions, as it had in Hue, Those who could not afford to leave stayed, hoping that after decades of conflict they could get on with their lives. "
