"he commandeered a small plane in Thailand, flew over Ho Chi Minh City and scattered thousands of tiny leaflets calling for a popular uprising."

There have been thousands upon thousands of boat people who have fled Vietnam over the past thirty years, and thousands more who fled under the "Orderly Departure Program". When I was out at the Cu Chi tunnels, twelve years ago, I met some old guys who asked me what life was like in Georgia, as they were about to move there under the Orderly Departure Program. My friend's parents and two sisters came over to the US on the ODP at about the same time.
