This closing chapter of the war would become the largest-scale evacuation ever carried out, as improvised by a small unit of Marines, a vast fleet of helicopter pilots flying nonstop missions beyond regulation, and a Marine general who vowed to arrest any officer who ordered his choppers grounded while his men were still on the ground. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drury and Clavin focus on the story of the eleven young Marines who were the last men to leave, rescued from the U.S. Embassy roof just moments before capture, having voted to make an Alamo-like last stand. As politicians in Washington struggled to put the best face on disaster and the American ambassador refused to acknowledge that the end had come, these courageous men held their ground and helped save thousands of lives. Drury and Clavin deliver a taut and stirring account of a turning point in American history that unfolds with the heart-stopping urgency of the best thrillers--a riveting true story finally told, in full, by those who lived it.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBob Drury has written two books with Tom Clavin--\u003ci\u003eHalsey's Typhoon\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Last Stand of Fox Company\u003c\/i\u003e.
