«Cruel avril: 1975, la chute de Saigon» is the historical essay by Olivier Todd, published by R. Laffont in 1987 (479 pages, in French).
It reconstructs the final days of the Vietnam War and the fall of Saigon in April 1975: the advance of North Vietnamese troops, the collapse of the South Vietnamese regime, and the final chaos of the conflict. It alternates the narration of political and military decisions with the experience of those who lived through the city's collapse.
The work was originally published in France in 1987 with the subtitle «1975, la chute de Saigon»; the volume includes a bibliography (pages 467-470) and an index.
A work of interest to readers of contemporary history, particularly those studying the end of the Vietnam War.
