Description
FROM BACK COVER: At eight o'cloch the next morning I went to the office. Pastor Giao handed me a manila folder. I said, "How many names are on the list?" "Pastor Watts, we did what you asked us to do." "That's not what I'm asking you now. How many names are on the list?" Tears welled up in Pastor Giao's eyes. "Pastor Watts, you'll never know what we went through last night. Over and over we went through the names." "Pastor Giao, how many names?" "We did the best we could." "Pastor Giao, how many names?" Who lives? Who dies? Thirty years ago, a Vietnamese conference president and his staff wrestled all night with that decision. First published in 1990 as "Saigon: The Final Days," this updated edition tells of the dramatic evacuation of Seventh-day Adventist Vietnamese and overseas personnel as the North Vietnamese forces closed in on Saigon. Ralph Watts, who directed the evacuation, gives his eyewitness account of the mayhem and its impact on the church. A page turner from start to finish, "Escape From Saigon" revisits the chaos of 1975 and provides much-anticipated updates on the state of the Adventist work in Vietnam today.
