First Edition; Demy 8vo; pp. xxii, 298; text illustrated with 8 pages of b/w. photographic plates, timeline, 3 pages of maps, notes, index, bound in original stiff illustrated wrappers, very good copy. Book based on Serong's unofficial diaries and his personal recollections. Concerned from the outset that the United States had no strategy for the prosecution of the war, Serong warned John F. Kennedy's Special Group of the dangers ahead. Later, he played a central role in the events of the Tet Offensive of 1968. Serong stayed on to advise the last President of South Vietnam as the North Vietnamese Army converged on Saigon, to escape only in the final helicopter evacuation from the US Embassy roof.
