In April 1975, Ralph White was asked by his boss to transfer from the Bangkok branch of the Chase Manhattan Bank to the Saigon Branch. He was tasked with closing the branch if and when it appeared that Saigon would fall to the North Vietnamese army and ensure the safety of the senior Vietnamese employees. But when he arrived, he realized the situation in Saigon was far more perilous than he had imagined. The senior staff members there urged him to evacuate the entire staff of the branch and their families, which was far more than he was authorized to do. Quickly he realized that no one would be safe when the city fell, and it was no longer a question of whether to evacuate but how. Getting Out of Saigon is the remarkable story of a city on the eve of destruction and the colorful characters who respond differently to impending doom. It's about one man's quest to save innocent lives not because it was ordered but because it was the right thing to do. 538 $a Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser. 650 17 $a Nonfiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Biography & Autobiography. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a History. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Military. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a Bramhall, Mark. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=7345964 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Excerpt $u https://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=8d80a8ec-b832-4f18-a3e6-556442031a0f&.epub-sample.overdrive.com $z Sample 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/5054-1/%7B8D80A8EC-B832-4F18-A3E6-556442031A0F%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/5054-1/%7B8D80A8EC-B832-4F18-A3E6-556442031A0F%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/8d80a8ec-b832-4f18-a3e6-556442031a0f $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230606010925.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A4F90A0042F11EE896B6DEA35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
