About this audiobook
A stunning memoir that reads like the most thrilling fiction, Song of Saigon is the story of Anh Vu Sawyer's miraculous escape from a nation on the brink of collapse. In 1975 rumors of an imminent Viet Cong invasion spread fear throughout Saigon. Anh, a 20-year-old medical student, prayed for a means of escape. Her harrowing yet successful journey is an unforgettable triumph of will.
