Arnett won the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in 1966 for his Vietnam coverage. He later joined CNN and became well-known to TV audiences during the first Gulf War when he broadcast live from Baghdad during the U.S. bombing raids.
The gripping opening words of Saigon Has Fallen details the chaotic final hours in and around the U.S. Embassy and provides a vivid picture of desperation for both the fleeing Americans and their Vietnamese partners, many of whom were left behind. The memoir also provides an interesting look back at the role of The Associated Press as the guidepost of American journalism in the sixties and seventies, and shows how its role in traditional, fact-based reporting remains strong, even today.
