review 1: I liked this read. Had the right combination of detail and personal stories during an interesting set of events. Clearly an example of a debacle in a war of debacles. So many stories out there on the Fall of Saigon and the evacuation of the American Marines and Embassy personel. Some sad stories for the people left behind and the crazy process they went through. I would give this about 3.5 stars but would round up. If you have an interest in the actual events, this is a good summation and well written.
review 2: Outstanding, highly readable account of an episode in American History that I knew painfully little about (despite having been a Marine during ther time period). Drury and Clavin do a superior job of interviewing participants and melding personal... more recollections with a clear analysis of the overall situation. Their book "The Last Stand of Fox Company" about Korea is also excellent, and highly recommended. less
