ISBN10: 029784671X, ISBN13: 9780297846710, [publisher: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London, United Kingdom] Hardcover First Edition As New. Reviews 'This is an epic book about an epic battle. It is not often that the story of a struggle as dramatic as Dien Bien Phu is told with a flair that matches the courage of the adversaries and the sheer scale of the event. Martin Windrow's book is nothing less than a landmark in military history.' -- Professor Richard Holmes 'This is an outstanding work of military history. It tells the story of the ghastly French experience in Indo-China in a way that has never been done before in English. The account of Dien Bien Phu is a masterpiece of meticulous historical narrative' -- Max Hastings 'Success in battle, according to one military maxim, may not, on its own assure the achievement of national security goals, but defeat will guarantee failure. Mr Windrow's vivid and well-written account confirms that this was certainly not the case at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. His book is a tribute to his abilities both as a historian and a writer.' THE ECONOMIST 'This anniversary reconstruction of France's most traumatic post-war battlefield defeat is highly opportune. Martin Windrow has pulled off a remarkable feat.' SUNDAY TIMES 'Enthralling.Windrow gives a clear and cogent analysis of the general politico-military position, one that makes the fateful decision to invite a Viet Minh attack o ...

CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: The author crafts an excellent narrative about the French defeat in SE Asia in the middle 1950's. Thinking they had the plan to finally end the 7 year civil war, they airlifted a 10,000 man garrison to Dien Bien Phu, a outpost deep in the enemy's territory. Giap, the Vietnamese self-taught General did the unexpected, he defeated the French and drove them out of the country, and opened the door to America's ever-increasing involvement.

Dustjacket slightly faded and a small mark on lower edges, but a very good clean hardback copy, 23.4 x 15.7cm. "In December 1953 the French army challenged its elusive Vietnamese enemies to a stand-up battle. French paras landed on the border between Vietnam and Laos, astride the Communist lines of communication. The Vietnamese not only attacked, they isolated the French force and besieged it in its jungle base. The hunters became the hunted. As defeat loomed, the French appealed to the USA where Vice-President Nixon and Air Force General Le May planned to drop atomic bombs on the Vietnamese supply dumps. It fell to Winston Churchill to block the use of atomic weapons in Vietnam: President Eisenhower would not employ them without his consent. What followed became a Stalingrad in the jungle: the French were worn down and destroyed. The French withdrew from Vietnam but the country was divided at US insistence, creating the short-lived 'Republic of South Vietnam' for which 55,000 US servicemen would die over the next 20 years. The French colonial army regrouped in Algeria where a new war began, one it was so determined to win that its officers would ultimately attempt a coup d'etat. Dien Bien Phu is a true landmark battle.
