Review Quotes

"Although ESCAPE WITH HONOR was first published eight years ago, it makes particularly timely reading now. In it, one of the illustrious Foreign Service Officers of our generation, Amb. Terry McNamara, recounts the story of how he closed the U.S. consulate in the Mekong Delta and led his staff and several hundred Vietnamese down that river to safety as the South Vietnamese government collapsed. The book is concise, the story riveting." --Amb. Michael W. Cotter
