The collapse of South Vietnam, the frantic and humiliating American evacuation, and the rise of the North Vietnamese flag at the presidential palace in Saigon make April 1975 an extremely compelling and deceptively obvious point to conclude histories of the Vietnam War. Although a turning point of profound importance, this historical moment did not inaugurate an abrupt shift from war to peace between Washington and Hanoi, nor did the collapse of the Republic of Vietnam as a political entity erase the bonds between the American and South Vietnamese peoples, which persisted in their intimate, asymmetrical complexity. A complete history of the Vietnam War, therefore, must include the post-1975 period.
