End of the Saga: The Maritime Evacuation of South Vietnam and Cambodia by Malcolm Muir PDF Summary

Book Description: President Nixon with his Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, developed the Paris Agreement Treaty that offered the United States “peace and honor "by bringing home American prisoners of war and ending combat operations for the U.S. armed forces. During this time frame, political scandals were underway around Nixon’s Watergate affair that involved Nixon’s direction of illegal activities and his efforts to cover up those crimes that led to Nixon’s resignation and Gerald Ford resuming title as President of the United States (POTUS). Now, the U.S. Navy was embarking on a large number of refugees and positioning itself towards the Philippines and Guam. The unexpected number of refugees that could pose a potential security concern worried the Navy and they made arrangements to offload many of them to both Guam and the Philippines. Medical attention was also provided to many of these refugees. You will also read about the recovery of the SS Mayaguez by the Henry B. Wilson guided missile destroyer that was able to intercept the Mayaguez ship as it entered into international waters. This final volume within the series, chronicles how, as the decades-long struggle in Southeast Asia came to a climax in the spring of 1975, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps saved thousands of U.S. citizens and pro-American Vietnamese and Cambodians from the victorious Communist forces.
