About this book
A poignant, angry, articulate book Newsweek 'Mr Fall's book is a dramatic treatment of a historic event graphic impact New York Times Originally published in 1961, before the United States escalated its involvement in South Vietnam, Street Without Joy offered a clear warning about what American forces would face in the jungles of Southeast Asia; a costly and protracted revolutionary war fought without fronts against a mobile enemy. In harrowing detail, Fall describes the brutality and frustrations of the Indochina War, the savage eight-year conflict, ending in 1954 after the fall of Dien Bien Phu, in which French forces suffered a staggering defeat at the hands of Communist-led Vietnamese nationalists. Street Without Joy was required reading for policymakers in Washington and GIs in the field and is now considered a classic.
First line
WAR came to Indochina in the wake of the crumbling of the European colonial empires in Asia during World War II.

New York: Xchocken Bookx, 1972. Fourth Edition Fifth Printing . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5 1/2" x 8. Minor, Wendell - Dessign. 408 Pages indexed. The last name of a previous owner "Clarke" is on the half title page. This is the May 1967 Fourth Edition. Georges Clemenceau is reputed to have said (and perhaps he did) that war was too important to be left to soldiers. Nobody seems to have come forward with the obvious corollary, which is that peace is too precious to be left to politicians. Such aphorisms, while they may delight those who like their thinking supplied for them in tasty capsules, wholly over-simplify the complex problem with which they deal. They can be true, certainly, but at the same time they are nonsense. For war is itself a political act. Politics cannot be separated from war, nor war from politics.
