A resident of the Cholon neighborhood watches helplessly as fire creeps toward her home during the fierce fighting that engulfed parts of Saigon during “Mini-Tet” in May 1968. Some thirty thousand homes were destroyed, many by U.S. and South Vietnamese air attacks meant to blast NLF fighters hidden within them. “The Viet Cong has no air force of its own,” said the Saigon police chief, “so he uses ours.”

Refugees crowd together, surrounded by the few household objects they’ve managed to salvage, on the grounds of a Catholic church in Saigon. Mini-Tet displaced nearly eighty-seven thousand Saigonese.
