Dien Bien Phu: A Novel of France’s Last Stand in Indochina is now available for pre-order at Amazon! I’ve always been fascinated by the siege that ended French rule in Vietnam and finally decided to write a work of war fiction that I think does it justice.
SPRING 1954. In a remote valley in Vietnam, the French Army believed it had built an impregnable fortress on which it would finally smash the Viet Minh. Instead, Dien Bien Phu became a deathtrap.
Surrounded, outnumbered, and outgunned, French Union paratroopers, Foreign Legion, and colonial troops endure relentless artillery bombardment and infantry assaults as General Giap tightens the noose. With the monsoons approaching and hope of relief fading, every day becomes a desperate struggle to endure as each redoubt becomes its own Verdun.
Dien Bien Phu brings this epic 56-day battle vividly to life through the eyes of the men who fought it, taking you into the trenches, the planning rooms at HQ, the artillery gun pits, the plane cockpits, and the tank turrets. From the horrific opening bombardment to the final heartbreaking collapse, their stories intertwine in a gripping portrait of courage, sacrifice, and endurance. If you enjoyed my Castles in the Sky about the crew of a B-17 bomber on its last mission, I think you’ll love this one.
