"This memoir is based on the detailed journal Claudia Krich, a U.S. aid worker, kept during the North Vietnamese capture of Saigon in 1975. A co-director of an American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) humanitarian program, Krich was one of only three American women to remain in Saigon after the U.S. withdrawal, and readers glean insights into what happened in Saigon in the first days and months after the Americans had left Saigon and the North Vietnamese swiftly established their regime.
