Escape with honor :my last hours in Vietnam

Escape with honor :my last hours in Vietnam Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

- As South Vietnam falls and Communist forces close in, an American diplomat leads over 300 people to safety down a tributary of the Mekong River

- Perhaps the last American shots of the Vietnam War

When Terry McNamara was posted as U.S. consul general in the Mekong Delta town of Can Tho, he had no idea he might become one of the Americans who would have to "turn out the lights" as South Vietnam fell. But when the evacuation order came in April 1975, he was prepared-and he was determined to leave with American honor intact. McNamara organized a complicated and dangerous riverine evacuation of hundreds of Filipino and Vietnamese civilians, many of whom were marked for death by the rapidly advancing Communist forces. Escape with Honor is a thrilling personal account of American honor during the Vietnam War's apocalyptic final hours.
