Book excerpt: Last Man Out is the remarkable story of Jim Parker, a former C.I.A. agent and the last man to leave Vietnam. The author explains how the agency worked behind the scenes to assist the military in the war. Last Man Out also explores the anti-war movement back home and its effect on how the war was conducted.
