{"product_id":"b07cw4q8j3","title":"Street Without Joy: The French Debacle in Indochina (Stackpole Military History Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1961 by Stackpole Books, Street without Joy is a classic of military history. 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\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67937908359204,"sku":"YSL40193","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/2614\/7620\/files\/71Mg0eTDGAL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793278435","url":"https:\/\/booktavero.com\/products\/b07cw4q8j3","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
