Il y a 50 ans Dien Bien Phu

I just added this fantastic book to my collection. The text is in French and the book is full of pics on just about every page, many in color. There are a lot of pics in here I had never seen before. There are a couple of really good maps as well.

I was able to find a copy on amazon.fr after being unable to find it here in the US. The interesting thing about the transaction though, was that while I had to find it through a French web site, and pay in Euros (via credit card), the book shipped from a book seller in Massachusetts. Go figure.

I'll be bringing it to the WW2 event at Anderson in two weeks and will also bring it to Rusk in February for anyone that wants to take a look.

Grog!

After seeing this publication for the first time, this past weekend. I suggest strongly that you sleep with it, with your automatic close at hand! There was much drooling in the mess hall as several of the cadre perused the pages!!!!!!!

It is an excellent book! Good find!!!!!!
