Movies documented the slittrench scene with the condemned getting their last cigarette and then being machinegunned into their open graves. Bear in mind this was not in the deep and dark past of world communism but in recentyears. The story of Cuba. as with that of the other 13 Communist nationsupdated now to 14 with the recent fall of Cambodiais best told in the figures of its freedomseeking refugees. Today about 800.000 Cuban refugees reside in the United States. while worldwide. the toll reaches almost 1.000.000. In his book. "The Viet Cong Strategy of Terror." Douglas Pike predicted that if the Communists won decisively in South Vietnam they would clear out the foreign newsmen and a curtain of ignorance would descend. In this way. states Pike. the Communists in Vietnam would create a silence and the world would call it peace.
