       "Thirteen  years  ago the Viet-Minh, who are now the  holders
       of power  in  Communist  North Viet-Nam, laid  siege  to  the
       fortress  of  Dien  Bien  Phu. They came  away  as  the  only
       guerilla  force  to  have  defeated  a  major  power  on  the
       battlefield.  That victory persuaded them later that  similar
       tactics  could  win out even against the United  States."  An
       important  book  by the author of several titles  on  Vietnam
       including  STREET  WITHOUT JOY, an indictment of  the  French
       intrusion  into  Indochina and a warning to  American  forces
       just beginning  their involvement. Fall was 40 years old when
       he was  killed  by  a  booby  trap in  South  Vietnam  on  21
       February  1967.  Fine in a Very Good dustwrapper  with  minor
       rubbing and edgewear.                                 $200.00
