Journalist and scholar Bernard Fall vividly captured the sights, sounds, and smells of the brutal- and politically complicated-conflict between the French and the Communist-led Vietnamese nationalists in Indochina. The French fought to the bitter end, but even with the lethal advantages of a modern military, they could not stave off the Viet Minh insurgency of hit-and-run tactics, ambushes, booby traps, and nighttime raids. The final French defeat came at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, setting the stage for American involvement and a far bloodier chapter in Vietnam's history. Fall combined graphic reporting with deep scholarly knowledge of Vietnam and its colonial history in a book memorable in its descriptions of jungle fighting and insightful in its arguments. After more than a half a century in print, Street without Joy remains required reading.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Stackpole Books","offers":[{"title":"Street Without Joy | Bernard B Fall | Paperback | 9780811736541 | New | History 1669798","offer_id":50789379801346,"sku":"1669798","price":49.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81DkhPfvdyL.jpg?v=1792303865","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/street-without-joy","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
