Disorder. Chaos. Fear.
The Evacuation of Saigon is beginning to pick up speed.
Terrified South Vietnamese, desperate to flee, plead with co-workers and friends to get them out of Vietnam and to America.
Anarchy and chaos spread throughout the South as the ARVN further disintegrates as the South Vietnamese government is consumed by infighting and indecision.

An excellent, well-written, highly detailed and evocative book.
Objective, fast-paced and informative, this blunt and deftly written text on the Fall of Saigon should be read by any who want a crisp and clear account of the final days of the Vietnam War.
Definitely recommended.

Epilogue

Saigon has fallen, the Communists of North Vietnam have won, the US has lost its first war and thousands of American affiliated South Vietnamese, particularly the Amerasian children of US soldiers, now have to endure the harsh new world of Communist Vietnam.

A sad, stark end to an unjust and foolish war on the part of the United States.

The final agony of Saigon and South Vietnam begins. A people and their nation are in their death throes as defeat and conquest looms over them.
Despite many South Vietnamese still remaining, who worked for the US government, the order is given in the closing days for only Americans to be evacuated and thousands of the South Vietnamese are left to face the wrath of the new Communist regime.

Anxiety, fear and panic consume Saigon as the Communists march unopposed throughout South Vietnam.
A mass exodus begins. Foreigners leave in droves as embassies close their doors and evacuate.
Thousands of South Vietnamese, those who worked with the Americans from generals to the mothers of Amerasian children, are desperate to flee the new regime and its harsh reprisals.

March 6 - April 24

The beginning of the end for South Vietnam.
The Communists are on the march and are capturing whole cities and provinces as ARVN, low on ammunition, fuel and morale, flee from the communist's inexorable onslaught.
Refugees, in terror and exhaustion, rush to safety either by the crowded and bombed roads or by worn-out and broken down ships and barges by sea.
