-"We continued to weep as we were trucked to Camp Asan, where, thanks to the general, we were given barracks that were luxurious compared to the tents waiting for the other late arrivals." The reason I chose this quote was not because the refugees were given barracks rather than tents, I chose this quote because before reading this book I did not know refugees were taken to this camp.

My favorite character has got to be the protagonist. The spy gives his point of view, so we get to experience the Vietnam war through his eyes. And the fact that he gets to experience the Vietnam war through different points of view makes him my favorite character.

One thing I learned from reading this book is that the beginning of the fall of Saigon was due to America. The United States abandoned Vietnam, which meant the withdraw of weapon, money, and protection.
