Saigon Has Fallen: A Wartime Recollection by Peter Arnett

A detailed and fascinating account of the fall of Saigon. I read this while in Vietnam (DaNang, not Saigon) and it was truly evocative and provided real perspective on the end of the Vietnam War which added a great deal to my understanding. I started with the audio and I was surprised to find Arnett is a terrible narrator so I changed to print.
