The world as it is in Asia is not a serene or peaceful place. Its object is total conquest Of course, some of the people of South Vietnam are participating in this attack on their own government. But trained men and supplies, orders and arms, flow in a constant stream from North to South. This support is the heartbeat of the war. And it is a war of unparalleled brutality.
Simple farmers are the targets of assassination and kidnapping.
Women and children are strangled in the night because their men are loyal to their Government. Small and helpless villages are ravaged by sneak attacks. Large-scale raids are conducted on towns, and terror strikes in the heart of cities. The confused nature of this conflict cannot mask the fact that it is the new face of an old enemy. It is an attack by one country upon another.
