They put me there
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I bought this book in 1982($13.95 hardcover in those days) but did not get around to reading it until last month ! It started off slow...I almost put it aside. But boy does the story begin to build. As I read it, I started to actually feel the sense of panic that was overtaking everyone in Saigon and South Vietnam as the collapse of the government appeared suddenly to be around the corner. The love interests of the the 3 main characters seemed almost prescripted...somehwat unecessary...but otherwise, I couldn't help but be fascinated by the character of the Ambassador. It is the manner in which the Kalb brothers described those last days before the fall of Saigon...the intenseness and panic....it is a feeling that will always be with me and I think I will experience everytime Vietnam is mentioned. I highly recommend the book.
