Escape with Honor: My Last Hours in Vietnam (Memories of War) - Softcover

"Although ESCAPE WITH HONOR was first published eight years ago, it makes particularly timely reading now. In it, one of the illustrious Foreign Service Officers of our generation, Amb. Terry McNamara, recounts the story of how he closed the U.S. consulate in the Mekong Delta and led his staff and several hundred Vietnamese down that river to safety as the South Vietnamese government collapsed. The book is concise, the story riveting." --Amb. Michael W. Cotter

As the government of South Vietnam was collapsing and communist troops were closing in, American diplomat Francis Terry McNamara led more than 300 Americans, Vietnamese, and Filipinos down a tributary of the Mekong River to safety. This is his dramatic true account of leadership, courage, and commitment.
