First Edition. 8vo (8.25 × 5.5 in.), gray-brown cloth, gilt-titled spine, 191 pp + 8 pp photographic plates. Foreword by Admiral Arleigh Burke, U.S. Navy Chief of Naval Operations. A dramatic and deeply personal account of Operation Passage to Freedom (1954-55), in which over 300,000 North Vietnamese civilians were evacuated to the South with U.S. Navy assistance following the Geneva Accords. Dooley, then a young naval physician, chronicles the ordeal of refugees fleeing communist rule and his own moral awakening during the mission. Illustrated with Dooley's photographs of Vietnamese civilians and naval operations, the book became an instant bestseller and helped shape American public opinion toward early U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia.

His memoirs inspired later Peace Corps initiatives and remain touchstones of American medical philanthropy abroad. …
