to build shelters in Haiphong, and to comfort the poor Vietnamese there before that besieged city fell
to the powerful Viet Minh forces. He was seemingly unconcerned by the many privations he had to

exciting experience in Deliver Us from Evil, a best seller that alerted America to the plight of the
Vietnamese as well as to the sinister menace of communism.
