Détails du produit
- Named one of Lit Hub's most anticipated books of the year.A searing reflection on the last day of the Vietnam War and the beginning of the end of foreign reporting in the nation's daily newspapers.Done in a Day turns on a single event: the April 30, 1975, departure of the last helicopter evacuating civilians from the rooftop of the US embassy in Saigon. Elisa Tamarkin's interest in that helicopter begins with the fact that her stepfather, the Saigon bureau chief for the Chicago Daily News, was on it—the last American correspondent to leave Saigon as it fell. His report was filed from a naval ship on the South China Sea at a time when no other telexes were going through.Now, more than fifty years later, Tamarkin offers a social and cultural autopsy of that moment, based in personal history but vividly unfolding amid the vast documentation of America's obvious defeat, which never seemed to register even as it got out, in the writings of journalists and essayists, in the backchannel cables between US ambassador Graham Martin and Henry Kissinger, in congressional hearings, and in photographs of the war's end. The story is also set against the imminent disappearance of war coverage in city newspapers—and of the newspapers themselves—once proud, in the words of the Chicago Daily News, of bringing readers the literature of the day that was done in a day.Done in a Day braids history, criticism, and memoir to tell the paired stories of Saigon's liberation and the demise of the news. The result is a haunting essay about all that ended in a day—and about what it means to recognize and to write about endings even as we live through them.

France Editorial Review
The product in question has received a mixed but predominantly positive reception from readers. Many have praised its insightful narrative, which artfully intertwines the personal account of the last American reporter to leave Saigon with broader themes such as the decline of war reporting and the fate of print journalism. This dual focus offers a profound reflection on how we navigate our information-saturated world, often overwhelmed yet under-informed. Readers have found the writing to be beautifully crafted, allowing for a compelling examination of the complexities surrounding the end of the Vietnam War. The author’s background as the daughter of a renowned correspondent adds depth to her reflections, making her perspective particularly poignant. The book is recognized for its ability to evoke strong emotions, presenting both a historical account and an exploration of cultural shifts in journalism. However, there are moments where some readers felt disappointed, possibly reflecting differing expectations about the narrative approach or thematic focus. Nevertheless, for many, it has been an "extraordinary" read that stands as both a significant historical record and a critical commentary on the state of media and wartime journalism. **
