In this stunning history, soldiers and civilians, both American and
Vietnamese, tell what it was like in the spring of 1975 as Hanoi
carried out its final, successful offensive against the Republic of
Vietnam. Generals, ambassadors, pilots, marines, politicians,
doctors, seamen, flight attendants, journalists, children, and even
Vietcong soldiers describe the growing demoralization, panic, and
chaos as the collapse gained momentum. American survivors recall
with raw emotions the escape of the last airliner out of Danang,
the chilling helicopter airlift from the U.S. embassy roof in
Saigon, and the painful abandonment of their South Vietnamese
allies. Former boat people relate their hair-raising encounters
with Thai pirates; and in a new postscript, an American government
official describes the resettlement of 130,000 Vietnamese refugees
in America over the ensuing months. Touching, heroic, and
unforgettable, these dramatic narratives illuminate the closing act
of one of the central events of modern history.
