"The Last Flight Out" is a dramatic story by Nguyễn Văn Ba, whose heroic actions were highlighted in the 2015 Oscar-nominated film "Last Days in Vietnam." This gripping memoir recounts the pivotal moments leading up to the fall of Saigon on April 29, 1975. The book captures Nguyễn Văn Ba's personal journey as a South Vietnamese Air Force pilot, navigating the chaos during one of history's most crucial events. The story begins with the fall of Saigon and the evacuation of thousands of refugees, including Nguyễn Văn Ba's family and crew. It emphasizes his courage and quick decision-making, including the dramatic choice to ditch his helicopter in the ocean to ensure everyone's safety. Themes of sacrifice, leadership, and survival resonate throughout. As the story unfolds, Nguyễn Văn Ba explores the challenges his family faced after escaping Vietnam and resettling in the United States. The book delves into the emotional struggles and resilience needed to rebuild, reflecting the refugee experience and enduring spirit to overcome hardship. The book also reflects on the broader historical and cultural impact of the Vietnam War, not just on his family but on the Vietnamese community. His writings, initially published in Vietnamese-language newspapers, are compiled to mark the 50th remembrance of these events in 2025, aiming to preserve the memory of that era for future generations, especially his descendants. At its core, "The Last Flight Out" is a tribute to the countless lives affected by the Vietnam War, capturing both personal and collective hardships. Beyond recounting the trials of war, Nguyễn Văn Ba expresses hope for a united Vietnamese community that transcends past divisions, looking toward a future built on shared ideals, culture, and brotherhood.

In 1973, sixty-one days after the Paris Peace Accords was signed specifying that American troops must withdraw from Vietnam-one day beyond the terms of the agreement-Richard Pena, was among the final handful of Americans to leave the country. LAST PLANE OUT OF SAIGON is a faithful reproduction of the journal he kept as a draftee working in the operating room of Vietnam's largest military hospital during the final year of the war. Supporting historical and political context is provided by award-winning scholar, John Hagan. Richard's entries were written in real time and, as they chronicle the last desperate year of this tragic war, present readers with a better understanding of the complicated final year of the Vietnam War from the inside, looking out. A year that tragically remains unfamiliar to most Americans. This landmark book describes, in part, the hasty departure of American troops from Vietnam but is timely now as America again withdraws from war and is challenged with multiple global conflicts. It is a gripping real-time account of the anger, resistance and resilience forged in one man by the horrors of Vietnam witnessed up close, in graphically human terms, touching on mistakes that were made then and which our country continues to make today. The reader will feel the weight of this compelling account, as the Vietnam War continues to plague the consciousness of our country. All Americans should read this important piece of history, bound to leave them with chills. Richard Pena served in Vietnam as an Operating Room Specialist for the United States Army and left on the last day of American withdrawal. He is now a nationally renowned practicing attorney in Austin, Texas. He is a former President of the American Bar Foundation and State Bar of Texas and served on the Board of Governors of the American Bar Association. John Hagan is the John D. MacArthur Professor of Sociology and Law at Northwestern University and Co-Director of the Center of Law & Globalization at the American Bar Foundation in Chicago. He has published nine books and more than 150 articles in nationally renowned magazines and journals.

The true story of the final days of the Vietnam War from the author of Marine Sniper. Culled from extensive interviews and research, Goodnight Saigon is the achingly dramatic story of the end of the Vietnam War as told from both sides of the conflict. Included are never-before-revealed accounts from people of every level involved in the war: NVA and Viet Cong soldiers, U.S. embassy personnel, guerilla commanders, civilians, generals, double agents? and leaders from both sides including former president Gerald Ford and North Vietnamese military commander General Tran Van Tra. From the first hints of the final offensive from the north, to the gut-wrenching hours before the fall of Saigon when a brave pilot defied his orders to return to base and rescued the last five Marines from the rooftop of the U.S. embassy, Goodnight Saigon is an unforgettable narrative of war, and those who live with its aftermath.

South Vietnam fell because of events occurring thousands of miles away from the battlefields--in China, the Soviet Union, Latin America, the Middle East, and Washington's corridors of power, along protest lines, and around America's dinner tables. These other wars being fought by American presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford profoundly impacted what happened in Vietnam. This work examines those other conflicts and the political, social, and economic factors involved with them that distracted and crippled the presidencies of Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford and led to the eventual abandonment of the U.S.-supported South Vietnamese regime. Nixon entered office with the goal of bringing the world together, but saw that goal ruined by the 1973 war in the Middle East, preoccupations with China and the Soviet Union, a weak economy, Watergate, and his disgraceful exit from the White House. Ford's presidency was tainted almost from the beginning because of the pardon he granted to Nixon, but the American public, tired of war and concerned about the economy, was ready to hear that the war had come to an end. An argument is presented that the war could have been won if the "other wars" had been fought by presidents willing to honor the American commitment to its allies in South Vietnam.
