About this product

Product Information

- Reprint of an all-time classic on the Vietnam War 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. With its frontline perspective, vivid reporting, and careful analysis, Street without Joy was required reading for policymakers in Washington and GIs in the field and is now considered a classic.

  • Excellent Account of French involvement in Vietnam.

    Bernard Fall was widely read by US Military Officers deploying to Vietnam as early as 1964. Too bad the lessons learned and written about were ignored. A little dated as Mr. Fall was killed in 1966 on a mission with the US Army.

  • Great book!

    As a Vietnam veteran it was interesting to read that we made the same mistakes as the French did in the war!

  • Great read, sad ending.

    Compelling, thought provoking, heart-breaking… precursor to America’s military WIN but political LOSS in a far off land…
