  The biggest diaspora in Vietnamese history occurred between 1975 and 1992, when more than two million people fled by boat to escape North Vietnam's oppressive communist regime. Reassessing the causes and dynamics of the diaspora, this book begins with a discussion of Vietnam from 1939 to 1954. It then looks closely at the 1954 Operation Exodus .
