It is "the" definitive book on the battle for Dien Bien Phu. Bernard Falls telling of the battle puts you right in the trenches with the French soldiers. His vivid description of the French paratroopers and their heroic but futile defense of a totally indefensible position, gives the reader a first hand account of what it is to fight a desperate but hopeless action with true bravery and indefatigable spirit.
Hell in a Very Small Place shows what happens when errors and miscalculations at the highest levels, and completely under estimating the capabilities and resolve of your enemy can lead to. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the first Indochina war.
