À propos de cet audio

Like Gettysburg, Stalingrad, Midway, and Tet, the battle at Dien Bien Phu - a strategic attack launched by France against the Vietnamese in 1954 after eight long years of war - marked a historic turning point. By the end of the 56-day siege, a determined Viet Minh guerrilla force had destroyed a large tactical French colonial army in the heart of Southeast Asia. The Vietnamese victory would not only end French occupation of Indochina and offer a sobering premonition of the US' future military defeat in the region but would also provide a new model of modern warfare in which size and sophistication didn't always dictate victory.

Before his death in Vietnam in 1967, Bernard Fall, a critically acclaimed scholar and reporter, drew upon declassified documents from the French Defense Ministry and interviews with thousands of surviving French and Vietnamese soldiers to weave a compelling account of the key battle of Dien Bien Phu. With Fall's thorough and insightful analysis, Hell in a Very Small Place has become one of the benchmarks in war reportage.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A thorough account of a brave, sanguinary battle that has since turned out to have immense historic importance." ( The New Yorker)

This is my second military history book oI have listened to ( the first was " Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William L. Shirer). The book provides the account of the battle that ended the French-Vietnam war.

I found this book was very well written and quite informative. The author explained the battle well enough that a non-military person could easily follow along and understand.

The narrator was amazing! I will be looking for other books narrated by him

Very Good
