520 1 $a"On January 17, 1973, the Paris Peace Accords were concluded with the hope of bringing an end to decades of bloodshed in Vietnam, and an end to years of American intervention. What took place, however, was far from peaceful - as the combined forces of the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong launched an all-out offensive to end the war with complete victory over the beleaguered south." "Here, culled from extensive interviews and research, is the story of the end of the war as told from both sides of the conflict. Included are never-before revealed accounts from people of every level and involvement in the Vietnam 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 impending invasion 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 rescue the last five Marines from the rooftop of the U.S. embassy, this is the Vietnam War as it was - raw, brutal, and tragic."--BOOK JACKET.
