new book on April 75

[Arnold Isaacs]

Perhaps some on this list who were around for the war's final months
will remember Bob Tamarkin, last Saigon correspondent for the Chicago
Daily News. For your possible interest, his stepdaughter Elisa has
published Done in a Day: Telex from the Fall of Saigon. Here's the
entry on the University of Chicago Press catalog:

Elisa then 4 years old, and her mother Civia Tamarkin joined Bob in
Saigon in late March 75, left after just a few weeks. Bob covered the
final weeks and left on the last helicopter out of the embassy hours
before Saigon fell. Elisa is now a professor of English at UCBerkeley.
