Publisher Description

SPRING 1954. In a remote valley in Vietnam, the French Army believed it had built an impregnable fortress. Instead, Dien Bien Phu became a deathtrap.

Surrounded by the Viet Minh, outnumbered and outgunned, French paratroopers, Foreign Legion, and colonial troops endure relentless artillery bombardment and infantry assaults as General Giap tightens the noose. With the monsoons approaching and hope of relief fading, every day becomes a desperate struggle to survive.

Dien Bien Phu brings the climactic battle of the First Indochina War vividly to life through the eyes of the men who fought it. From the opening bombardment to the final collapse, their stories intertwine in a gripping portrait of courage, sacrifice, and endurance amid the battle that ended French colonial rule in Indochina.
