'Mission Impossible'

With its 14-part structure, the book's content is presented through impressive and engaging section titles, coupled with insightful analyses and interpretations, and a consistent theme: to understand the outcome of a war, one must first understand how that war began.

The book "Dien Bien Phu - An Impossible Mission" has just been published by the National Political Publishing House.

The decision to build Dien Bien Phu as the strongest fortified complex in the Navarre Plan affirmed the importance and desire of France to change the course of the war in Indochina. Dien Bien Phu thus became a "historic rendezvous point" in the clash between two rivals both eager for victory.

However, that seemingly achievable task for the French colonialists soon became impossible, because their aggressive ambitions could not stop the power of patriotism and the determination of the Vietnamese people to regain their independence and peace .

Written in a captivating and fresh style, drawing on diverse and rich domestic and international sources with an objective historical perspective, the book contributes to clearly portraying the magnitude of the victory of the Vietnamese army and people in the resistance war against French colonial aggression, with the "glorious victory that shook the world" - Dien Bien Phu.

This book is expected to be a valuable reference for all readers regarding the historic victory at Dien Bien Phu.
