Carl Robinson - a memoir of the Vietnam War
Carl Robinson first went to Vietnam to work for USAID, but following the Tet Offensive of 1968, his disillusionment with the entire war led him to quit and become a journalist. Eleven years he stayed in Vietnam, getting married, having children until he was forced to leave in a dramatic helicopter exit in 1975 in Saigon. He settled in Sydney, Australia in 1977 and established the extremely popular Old Saigon Restaurant in Newtown to a city not yet in love with Vietnamese cuisine.
