Description
The Last Helicopter: Two Lives in Indochina by Jim Laurie A gripping account of love, betrayal and terror during the Second and Third Indochina Wars. This memoir captures the drama and tensions of the 1970s, while recalling places of beauty now lost forever. Drawn from recorded interviews with Soc Sinan and Jim Laurie's contemporaneous writings, The Last Helicopter tells a story of a young reporter who plans a last-minute rescue of a woman he loved, only to see it fail. He is then helicoptered out of the Cambodian capital days before its collapse and goes on to Vietnam in time to witness the fall of Saigon. Woven through this riveting account is a painfully poignant love story that will stay with you long after finishing the book.
