The Last Valley: Dien Bien Phu and the French Defeat in Vietnam,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In December 1953 the French army occupying Vietnam challenged the elusive Vietnamese army to engage in a decisive battle. When French paratroopers landed in the jungle on the border between Vietnam and Laos, the Vietnamese quickly isolated the French force and confronted them at their jungle base in a small place called Dien Bien Phu. The huntersthe French armyhad become the hunted, desperately defending their outgunned base. The siege in the jungle wore on as defeat loomed for the French. Eventually the French were depleted, demoralized, and destroyed. As they withdrew, the country was ominously divided at U.S. insistence, creating the shortlived Republic of South Vietnam for which 55,000 Americans would die in the next twenty years.
