The last and longest days of our longest war are vividly recreated for the first time in one of the most ambitions works of panoramic on-the-scene reporting you will ever have a chance to read. Drawing on seven years of experience in Vietnam as a soldier and UPI correspondent, Alan Dawson-the last full-time news service reporter to leave Saigon, and then only when requested to do so six months after the war ended- recounts the last 55 days of the most cataclysmic military and political event of our time. Getting inside the war councils of the top North Vietnamese leadership, the Saigon political machine, and the American "advisory board," Dawson shows how and why the North won the war through two crucial changes in their previously unsuccessful strategy.
