Lawrence _________________________________ H. W. Brands ‘A Haven for Tortured Souls’: Hong Kong in the Vietnam War by Peter Evan Hamilton, B.A. Report Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin December 2011 To my parents, Drs. James J. Hamilton and Linda Z. Hamilton. A small token of my appreciation for their constant support and sacrifice. ‘A Haven for Tortured Souls’: Hong Kong in the Vietnam War by Peter Evan Hamilton, MA The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISOR: Mark A. Lawrence This essay details the profound economic and social impact of the Vietnam War on Hong Kong. The British colony provided essential strategic facilities to the U.S. war effort and ranked among the largest destinations for American servicemen on R&R. Between 1965 and 1970, Hong Kong annually hosted about 200,000 U.S. ground and naval personnel on holiday. This influx annually earned Hong Kong about US$300-400 million (in 2009 dollars) and employed thousands of residents working in the colony’s service and entertainment industries. In addition, American servicemen and the local businesses catering to them became a contentious issue in local society. Servicemen excited widespread interest, but their misdeeds and their bar and brothel stomping grounds provoked intense anxiety.
