  abstract: The book tell the dramatic story of Dien Bien Phu that is recognized as one of history's great battles and as a turning point for American policy: the French defeat led to the fateful U.S. commitment to VietNam. Ironically, the U.S. military repeated many of the French mistakes. The fighting began in November 1953, when French paratroopers seized a small airstrip in northwestern VietNam. It ended in May 1954 with tens of thousands of VietMinh troops overrunning the besieged garrison. A third of the 15.000 defenders died in combat; fewer than a hundred escaped into the jungle. Thousands more died in captivity
