Explaining History

Last flight out of Saigon - a story from the last days of the Vietnam War


Listen Later

Fifty years ago, the longest imperial war of the 20th Century ended with the fall of Saigon and the victory of the North Vietnamese in the reunification of Vietnam. Miki Nguyen's account of his family's desperate flight from Saigon is covered in his father's story, Last Flight Out, and his father's bravery escaping the retribution of the communist forces. You can read his book here, based on his father, Ba Van Nguyen's memoirs.
