Publishing the book "Ho Chi Minh City

The book, nearly 200 pages, includes reports from many Western journalists who were directly present in Vietnam during those historic days. They witnessed the Liberation Army marching into the South, carrying with them the steadfast spirit of “the Vietnamese people are one” and the belief in certain victory. They witnessed the chaotic scenes of the evacuation organized by the US, when helicopters followed each other out of Saigon, leaving behind a devastated city. After only a week, they saw a different Saigon – calm, orderly and filled with symbols of a new era.

The book " Ho Chi Minh City - Zero Hour - Reports on the end of the 30-year war".

The special feature of the book is the way the journalists describe the changes in people and atmosphere in the city before and after April 30, 1975, which are the liberation army soldiers in green uniforms and rubber sandals - "Uncle Ho's sandals" talking openly with the people. That is the image of students in white ao dai, mothers, relatives hugging each other and crying on the day of reunion. The people of Saigon, after the first days of anxiety, have returned to their daily lives, although they know that ahead of them is a challenging journey to rebuild the country.

The Northern soldiers who went to the South not only regained peace , independence and freedom for the Vietnamese people, but also found their families and relatives who had been separated by war for decades. The moment of meeting parents and siblings after many years of separation became one of the symbols of peace and national reunification.

From the perspective of outsiders, but with the opportunity to witness historical moments up close, “Ho Chi Minh City - Hour Zero - Reports on the end of the 30-year war” is a valuable documentary book, imbued with the breath of the times.
