A truly 5 star performance piece written from the opposing or some might say "home" side. The new material made available to the authors brings fresh insight into what we are calling a 10 year war in a similar place called Afghanistan today!!! Learn from history!!!

Osprey's books often have many charts, graphs, and maps. since I am not able to view these within a book it makes it difficult to enjoy a book in totallity. That said, this book is unusual and valuable for the perspective given by the French adversarys, the communist Vietnamese. The narreative is clear and detailed and adds to the historical record.
