The famous battle and defeat of the French at Dienbienphu was a shattering event for France, the US and the entire Western World. This is an easy to read yet meticulous study of the origins and course of the battle together with the political issues surrounding it. The Vietminh's General Giap became one of the most respected tactician leaders in 20th century warfare. Intensely interesting for any war historian or S.E.Asian history student.
