Editorial Reviews
The New Yorker
"A thorough account of a brave, sanguinary battle that has since turned out to have immense historic importance."

Product Description
The 1954 battle of Dien Bien Phu ranks with Stalingrad and Tet for what it ended (imperial ambitions), what it foretold (American involvement), and what it symbolized: A guerrilla force of Viet Minh destroyed a technologically superior French army, convincing the Viet Minh that similar tactics might prevail in battle with the U.S.
