Abstract:
Comments on the effect of food shortages, bombing raids and the American race riots on North Vietnamese morale [according to the source neither
bombing raids nor increasing food prices and
rice shortages have seriously affected the
morale in North Vietnam; the race riots in
the US and the emergence of the "Black Power"
movement, which North Vietnam considers the
beginning of a popular revolution, have
improved morale in North Vietnam; North
Vietnam feels that civil rights disturbances
will force the US to divert money from the
war; inflated Viet Cong reports of casualties
have also improved North Vietnamese morale].
