- Summary:
- Le Tran Nhan was a South Vietnamese draftee, working as an interpreter between Americans and South Vietnamese officials. He describes what he learned from interrogating North Vietnamese prisoners of war, in particular that they knew when Americans would be moving into an area because aerial and naval bombardments would increase. Le Tran Nhan also attests to the benefits of having rich Americans around to spend money. He describes the reaction of North Vietnamese prisoners of war to seeing Saigon for the first time, not believing such wealth could exist. And he speaks about his reaction to Thieu's election, the signing of the Paris Peace Accord, and Nixon's resignation.
