Book review - "The Last Valley" by Martin Windrow

 The story of the Siege of Dien Bien Phu, an epic saga, Exhaustively researched, intelligently written. I found the drama got weighed down by all the details and descriptions, especially the numbers of various units and what not. Some compelling incidents sneak through - the French officer who killed himself during the initial attack, the swashbuckling soldiers - but not enough.
