In this classic account of the French war in Indochina, Bernard B. Fall vividly captures the sights, sounds, and smells of the savage eight-year conflict in the jungles and mountains of Southeast Asia from 1946 to 1954. The French fought well to the last, but even with the lethal advantages of airpower, they could not stave off the Communist-led Vietnamese nationalists, who countered with a hit-and-run campaign of ambushes, booby traps, and nighttime raids. Defeat came at Dien Bien Phu, in 1954, setting the stage for American involvement and opening another tragic chapter in Vietnam's history.

What did you love best about Street Without Joy?

It showed how a great military force that adapted to the terrain still got beaten. The French forces were made up of so many brilliant soldiers and they were creative in dealing with their enemies, but were undone by political factors that they did face, but not as well as their enemies.

Still great after all these years.

This book is just as great as I was told it was. I recommend it. If it’s not on the West Point reading list…it should be.

Great..

We are, sadly, repeating the mistakes of the Vietnam war in the Middle East - i.e. seeking a military solution to a political dilemma. Our officers in Iraq should have been reading STREET WITHOUT JOY instead of SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM!

will we never learn?

The more times change the more human nature remains the same. The West and the USA “institutions” still seem to think (and fail to understand) that politics can and should be separated from military culture. Politics are always at the heart of warfare. Maybe one day the US military will recognize that fact and train accordingly. Maybe. Or not.

War is an extension of politics

What did you love best about Street Without Joy?

Dr. Fall wrote an excellent and factual account that is an excellent read. I have been in many of the locations and walked, or drove, over the ground.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Perhaps Perkins was using British pronunciation but his Vietnamese pronunciation really sucks. I found it very distracting and at times a bit hard to follow. Too bad, there are plenty of ways to get correct pronunciation.

Great book, lousy narrator

Easy to follow. Narrator was easy to understand and I love when he lent his accent to the french parts.

Great Book!

Narration: clear and good match for content.

Content: nothing to add to evaluations made by virtually all other reviewers. Knowing of French debacle should have steered Johnson and his supporters clear of the Vietnam war. They should have been prosecuted for their deceiving the American people into prosecuting a senseless war..

Classic Vietnam battle tactics.

I've really enjoyed reading this classic on the French Indochina War, but one thing would make it MUCH more enjoyable.
Unlike the US conflagration in that far away land, much of the French conflict occurred in northern Vietnam. So it has been quite difficult for me to visualize the towns, topography, etc. while listening to the narrative. A PDF copy of maps (topography, campaigns, etc.) would make this wonderful book far more enjoyable.

Great...except for one thing
