Journalist and scholar Bernard Fall vividly captured the sights sounds and smells of the brutal and politically complicated conflict between the French and the Communist - led Vietnamese nationalists in Indochina. The French fought to the bitter end but even with the lethal advantages of a modern military they could not stave off the Viet Minh insurgency of hit - and - run tactics ambushes booby traps and nighttime raids. The final French defeat came at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, setting the stage for American involvement and a far bloodier chapter in Vietnam's history. Fall combined graphic reporting with deep scholarly knowledge of Vietnam and its colonial history in a book memorable in its descriptions of jungle fighting and insightful in its arguments. After more than a half a century in print Street without Joy remains required reading.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Street Without Joy The French Debacle In Indochina\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Fall Bernard B.\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Stackpole Books\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780811736541\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 424 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 2\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Stackpole Military History Series\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Postwar 20th Century History, From C 1945 To C 2000","brand":"Fall Bernard B.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49598872977713,"sku":"IN-G-9780811736541","price":21.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780811736541.jpg?v=1724597475","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780811736541-street-without-joy-the-french-debacle-in-indochina","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
