The siege of Dien Bien Phu in which a guerrilla force of Viet Minh destroyed a technologically superior French colonial army must rank with Waterloo Gettysburg Midway Stalingrad and Tet as one of the decisive battles in military history Not only did Dien Bien Phu put an end to French imperial efforts in Indochina but it also convinced the Viet Minh when they came to power in Communist North Vietnam that similar tactics would prevail in their war with the United States As an American army officer told Bernard Fall during the Vietnam War What were doing here basically is were exorcising Dien Bien PhuBernard Fall in this monumental work has written an exhaustive revelatory and vivid account of the battle leading the reader from the conference rooms of the US State Department to the French Foreign Office to the front lines of IndoChina and the strategy sessions led by General Giap and Ho Chi Minh Among the many historical curiosities here disclosed is evidence that thenSecretary of State John Foster Dulles offered atomic bombs to the beleaguered French and that thenSenator Lyndon Johnson played a key role in defeating a proposal to aid the French with critical air support Without U S aid the fortress at Dien Bien Phu fell on the very day that the ceasefire conference opened in GenevaBased on hitherto unavailable documentation from the French Defense Ministry and replete with detailed maps of the many assaults Hell in a Very Small Place is a firstrate military history But even more powerful is the political wisdom it imparts about a war that was not only the beginning of the end of the French colonial empire but a rehearsal for American involvement in Vietnam

From World War I to Operation Desert Storm American policymakers have repeatedly invoked the lessons of history as they contemplated taking their nation to war Do these historical analogies actually shape policy or are they primarily tools of political justification Yuen Foong Khong argues that leaders use analogies not merely to justify policies but also to perform specific cognitive and informationprocessing tasks essential to political decisionmaking Khong identifies what these tasks are and shows how they can be used to explain the US decision to intervene in Vietnam Relying on interviews with senior officials and on recently declassified documents the author demonstrates with a precision not attained by previous studies that the three most important analogies of the Vietnam eraKorea Munich and Dien Bien Phucan account for Americas Vietnam choices A special contribution is the authors use of cognitive social psychology to support his argument about how humans analogize and to explain why policymakers often use analogies poorly
