The Last Valley
by Martin Windrow
A highly acclaimed, well-written, and flawlessly researched history of the battle that doomed the French Empire and led America into Vietnam. In December 1953 the French army occupying Vietnam challenged the elusive Vietnamese army to engage in a decisive battle. When French paratroopers landed in the jungle on the border between Vietnam and Laos, the Vietnamese quickly isolated the French force and confronted them at their jungle base in a small place called Dien Bien Phu. The hunters-the French army-had become the hunted, desperately defending their out-gunned base. The siege in the jungle wore on as defeat loomed for the French. Eventually the French were depleted, demoralized, and destroyed. As they withdrew, the country was ominously divided at U.S. insistence, creating the short-lived Republic of South Vietnam for which 55,000 Americans would die in the next twenty years.

China in War and Revolution draws a picture of the personalities, ideas, and processes by which a modern state was created out of the violence and trauma of
