Search - Escape from Saigon: A Novel

Escape from Saigon A Novel
Author: Michael Morris, Dick Pirozzolo

Few thirty-day periods in history have been more tumultuous than the fall of Saigon in April of 1975. With US military gone for two years, the North Vietnamese Army routed South Vietnam's forces. Refugees poured into a city once known as the Paris of the Orient. The world watched and waited for what many expected would be a bloodbath. — "Escape f... more »rom Saigon" follows the people trapped in the besieged city. Among them: a former GI attempting to rescue his Vietnamese wife's relatives; a Vietnamese-American network TV reporter; an American businessman risking his life to smuggle out his employees; and the remaining US diplomats, military liaisons, and CIA operatives. The NVA onslaught is spearheaded by two officers--one intent on restraint, the other bent on revenge in this final chapter of a war that has already taken millions of lives.

"Escape from Saigon" is a story of a city and its inhabitants struggling to survive in its most desperate hours--a tale that stays true to the historic record while recounting moments of human hardship, courage, and triumph.

Casey Sherman, New York Times Bestselling Author of "The Finest Hours"

"Escape from Saigon is a sweeping saga that places you dead center in the tumultuous final days of the war in Vietnam. Authors Mike Morris and Dick Pirozzolo carry on the grand tradition of Michener and Clavell in that they make history come alive through rich, compelling characters in a pulsating narrative that is both timely and timeless."

Winston Groom, author of "Better Times Than These" and "Forrest Gump"

"Set during the final days of the Vietnam War, Escape From Saigon brings to life the war-torn lives of the men and women, soldiers and civilians alike trapped in the capital city, each trying to escape the fall of Saigon before it engulfs them all. A vivid, unvarnished vision."·Nicholas Gage, author of "Eleni: A savage war, a mother's love and a son's revenge - a personal story" and "Greek Heat."·"Escape from Saigon movingly dramatizes the plight of people caught in the crucible of war and trying to survive. A searing tale that vividly recreates a tumultuous time in our recent history."·Skip Yetter, author of "Rilertown: A Jake Ketcher Novel" who also ran an NGO relief organization in Cambodia.·"Michael Morris and Dick Pirozzolo have created a mirror image of the Vietnam era with the style and authority of Tom Clancy, accurately depicting the final heartbreaking weeks of the decades long conflict. Lovers of intrigue, history, or anyone in search of an excellent action read that accurately depicts the journalists who dedicated their lives to covering the Vietnam War will love this book."·Barry Nolan, former anchor of "Hard Copy"·From the beginning - you can smell the cordite and feel the fear. As a reporter I loved the truthful sketches of bar scenes, and the pervading sense of how messy and risky life really was behind the neatly edited stories that - for the first time - brought war into our living rooms.·Erika Armstrong, ATP, aviation professor, and author of "A Chick in the Cockpit"·"The Vietnam War produced some of the best pilots in the world because their lives, as well as the soldiers on the ground, depended on them to get it right on the first try. Escape from Saigon makes the connection between what was happening in the air with the result of their efforts on the ground...both good and bad."
