The Last Valley: Dien Bien Phu and the French Defeat in Vietnam Paperback - 2005
by Martin Windrow
In December 1953, the French army occupying Vietnam challenged the elusive Vietnamese army to engage in battle at Dien Bien Phu. The story of how the siege in the jungle wore on until the French were depleted, demoralized, and destroyed is meticulously researched for this volume.
First line
ON A CRISP, SUNNY WINTER'S day on a red earth hilltop in North Vietnam, a young Californian named Howard Simpson was reluctantly fishing around with borrowed chopsticks in a lunchtime bowl of pho soup, while trying to ignore the stench of torn-up corpses festooning the barbed wire a few yards away.
