" Without Honor is a courageous and honest book about a period of American history which most would rather forget." -- Seymour HershA gripping account of one of the century's most harrowing human catastrophes -- the fall of South Vietnam -- Without Honor captures the tragedy and the irony of the Vietnam War's last days and examines the consequences of the American military and political decisions that had sustained the war effort for a generation only to lead to the worst foreign policy failure in the nation's history. Arnold Isaacs, who spent the final years of the war in Vietnam as a correspondent for the Baltimore Sun, describes his firsthand observations of the collapse of Cambodia and South Vietnam -- from the 1973 Paris peace agreement to the American evacuation of Saigon and its aftermath -- with heartbreaking detail, from the devastated battlefields and villages to the boats filled with terrified refugees.
