Witness to the Fall: A Review of ‘Decent Interval’ by Frank Snepp


Listen Later

In late April 1975, the U.S. had left South Vietnam, but the Communists still planned to reunite the country. CIA analyst Frank Snepp witnessed the collapse of the capital, Saigon, documenting his experience in his memoir 'Decent Interval'. In this podcast, I talk about the book and how the U.S. faltered in its rescue operation and the intelligence failures that accompanied the fall. This episode is also available as a blog post: http://historyhereandnowhhn.com/2021/01/07/witness-to-the-fall-a-review-of-decent-interval-by-frank-snepp/
