Paperback. Zustand: Good. In this "gripping tale of heroism and heartbreak" (Nathaniel Fick, New York Times bestselling author) from the Vietnam War, discover the full "story of a handful of marines who formed the last body of Americans to leave Saigon on April 30, 1975" (Booklist). Based on a wealth of recently declassified documents and in-depth interviews, Bob Drury and Tom Clavin tell the remarkable drama that unfolded over the final, heroic hours of the Vietnam War. This closing chapter of the war would become the largest-scale evacuation ever carried out, as improvised by a small unit of Marines, a vast fleet of helicopter pilots flying nonstop missions beyond regulation, and a Marine general who vowed to arrest any officer who ordered his choppers grounded while his men were still on the ground. Drury and Clavin focus on the story of the eleven young Marines who were the last men to leave, rescued from the US Embassy roof just moments before capture, having voted to make an Alamo-like last stand. As politicians in Washington struggled to put the best face on a political disaster and the American ambassador refused to acknowledge that the end had come, these courageous men held their ground and helped save thousands of lives. Set against the chaos of 1970s Saigon, Drury and Clavin deliver a "riveting and moving" (Karl Marlantes, New York Times bestselling author) account of a turning point in American and Vietnamese history that unfolds with the heart-stopping urgency of the best thrillers--a riveting true story finally told, in full, by those who lived it.…
