Over 30,000 books have been published on the Vietnam War but this is the only book written about the black-market and how it worked.
A young naïve Texan takes a job with a foreign assignment in Saigon in order to beat the draft and through attrition, quickly rises to the position as one of the project engineers in a company with over 55,000 employees. Due to his influential position, he gets involved with leasing hundreds of villas to expatriates through the lovely Danielle--referred to as the Dragon Lady of Saigon--and is slowly entrapped into moving pacification cash to village chiefs, stolen PX goods, converting Vietnamese military trust funds, and operating a U.S. funded casino for entrapment of black-market money. With over $147 million in today's money in a Hong Kong account, the Chinese underworld cleverly takes control of his stash. The harrowing flight and fight for his money sets the path for the rest of his life.
