Description
Dien Bien Phu was to be France's most glorious victory in the Indochina War. But what 11,000 courageous Legionnaires did not know was that 50,000 gutless Vietminh prepared to cut them down with heavy cannons. One Communist officer swore he would claim victory--and dance on the grave of one godforsaken Legionnaire: Casca...the Eternal Mercenary!
