This is a description of an interesting and mostly unknown event in recent history which is touted by the publisher as representing a major revolution in naval warfare. In truth, the event makes a fine politics and espionage thriller, but it hardly signifies a radical transformation of military doctrine. The concept of wars being fought with missiles exclusively is not new. Israel was in a position to use this concept in war time conditions first. Based on empirical surveys as well as personal interviews, this study examines the cultural values, family milieu, and psychological characteristics that account for the successes of the Indochinese Boat People (Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian) in this country.
