50 years ago, Saigon was a city in ruin. Two decades of war between the US-backed South and the communist North laid waste to much of the country. More than 2 million lives were lost. Today, Saigon is back, better than ever. Read about this remarkable city in Falling for Saigon. Out tomorrow!

Saigon, or Ho Chi Minh City, is no longer just a city of memory—it’s a city of movement, where old and new collide in dazzling, unpredictable ways. In Falling for Saigon, @connla-stokes.bsky.social brings us up to speed on a city that's bounced back to life fifty years after the war.

Soon Vietnam will be marking the 50th anniversary of the end of the war. On 30 April '75, the southern capital Saigon fell to the northern communists. Since then, Ho Chi Minh City, as it's known today, has roared back to life. Falling for Saigon, out 1 May, is a tribute to this resilient city
