BRAINTREE, Mass. (AP) ' George Esper, the tenacious Associated Press correspondent who covered the Vietnam War for nearly a decade, has died at 79.
Esper's son, Thomas, said Friday that his father died in his sleep Thursday night.
He was the AP's bureau chief in Saigon during the last two years of the war.
As the war ended in 1975, Esper refused to join the massive U.S. evacuation. He stayed behind so he could report on the fall of Saigon.
Esper became an AP special correspondent when he returned to the United States. He covered major stories such as the 1978 Jonestown massacre in Guyana and the 1991 Gulf War.
Esper retired from the AP in 2000 to become a professor of journalism at his alma mater, West Virginia University.
