The battle of Dien Bien Phu was one of the most decisive and resounding events in the history of anti-colonialist struggles in the twentieth century. This book portrays how the impact of the battle sealed the fate of the once mighty French empire and served as an inspiration to anti-imperialist resistance forces everywhere.
With eye-witness accounts and testimonies from people like Ho Chi Min himself this pamphlet illustrates wonderful historicity in the times of the resistance yet also delivers an alternate view of the Viet Cong before the Vietnam War that challenges some preconceptions.
