Product Description
May 7th, 1954 - the guns fell silent as the last organized resistance in the fortified camp of Dien Bien Phu came
to an end. The loss of Dien Bien Phu struck a death knell for the French effort to retain control of their former
colony of Indochina. For the Viet Minh it was a long sought victory over significant French forces and heralded
an end to this first phase of their war of liberation from their imperial masters. The war had begun 8 years
previously in the wake of World War II and would end 21 long years later with the fall of Saigon in 1975. Dien
Bien Phu covers the period of 1946 - 1954 when a polyglot force of Moroccans, Senegalese, Algerians,
Legionnaires, Vietnamese, Thos and others under the auspices of the French sought to retain France's hold on
Indochina and were opposed by the nationalist communist forces of the Viet Minh.
