I've read this book under the title "Giai Phong: The Fall and Liberation of Saigon". Straightaway the author has a propagandistic style, glossing over the way in which Saigon was "liberated" by the Communists. This book is a day by day account of the fall of Saigon, and the author includes interviews with key Communist leaders, such as Tran Van Tra. It is definitely an interesting read with some great photographs, but I believe that the author shows a definite bias toward the Communists, and his bias often gets in the way of honest reporting. It's a good book to read if you want the other side's perspective.
