Summary
This book reveals how French officers who served in Indochina, like the Author, fought fierce rear-guard actions against ideologically motivated insurgents in the 1940’s and 50’s. The French fought the Viet Minh and suffered from a lack of coherent strategic direction from Paris in the days of the 4th French Republic. The French government gave very little support and left the military with the task of making political decisions in the field.
Notes - No dust jacket Some bleaching on the spine
