Outside the city, the North Vietnamese Army prepares for a massive strike. Inside the Embassy, U.S. Ambassador Hadden Walker - diplomatic troubleshooter, last of the Southern gentlemen - sits and waits, refusing to believe it is the end. Now, in the final moments of the war, the Ambassador can trust no one. Not the President of the United States who has left him to suffer defeat for an entire nation...not his beautiful daughter Suzanne, whose passion for her CIA-lover Tony let her betray her own father...not even his exotic mistress Jeanne, forced to choose between her love for one man and allegiance to her country. As horrified Americans watch Saigon fall on the nightly news, the Ambassador makes his decision. Someone has changed the rules of the game. It is time for Hadden Walker to win the war his way.

4.0 out of 5 stars
They put me there,
By Larry Flynn (Canberra Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Last Ambassador (Hardcover)
I bought this book in 1982($13.95 hardcover in those days) but did not get around to reading it until last month ! It started off slow...I almost put it aside. But boy does the story begin to build. As I read it, I started to actually feel the sense of panic that was overtaking everyone in Saigon and South Vietnam as the collapse of the government appeared suddenly to be around the corner. The love interests of the the 3 main characters seemed almost prescripted...somehwat unecessary...but otherwise, I couldn't help but be fascinated by the character of the Ambassador. It is the manner in which the Kalb brothers described those last days before the fall of Saigon...the intenseness and panic....it is a feeling that will always be with me and I think I will experience everytime Vietnam is mentioned. I highly recommend the book.

This review is from: The Last Ambassador (Hardcover)
Dear Friends,
As a scholar who studies the literature of war, I recommend the novel "The Last Ambassador", by Bernard Kalb and Melvin Kalb. This novel approaches the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War. So, it is a remarkable literary and historical document about that important event in the recent history of thew United Staes, Vietnam and the world by and large.
