Stalingrad in the jungle: the battle that doomed the French Empire and led America into VietnamIn winter 1953-54 the French army in Vietnam challenged its elusive enemy, General Giap's Viet Minh, to pitched battle.

The siege which followed became a Stalingrad in the jungle, and its outcome shocked the world.
