Getting Out of Saigon

Ralph White tells the remarkable story of how as a young banker in Saigon during the final weeks before the city fell to the North Vietnamese, he saved the entire staff of the Saigon branch of Chase Manhattan bank and their families, via a secret American-run network he discovered -- Argo meets The Fall of Saigon.

Reviews

“In the history of the Chase Manhattan Bank, one event stands out as clarifying the bank’s responsibility to its employees. In 1975, Chase sent Ralph White to rescue its Vietnamese employees before the fall of Saigon. Only in retrospect do we now know how desperate those employees were, or how extraordinary were the obstacles White faced in rescuing them.”
