“For 56 days they had given everything, endured everything; they had achieved the impossible, not once but again and again. They deserved to win; and if they were now being robbed of victory, then the real thieves weren't the People's Army, the 'rats of the Nam Youm', or anyone else in the filth of this last valley, but men who slept between clean sheets far away.”
― The Last Valley: Dien Bien Phu and the French Defeat in Vietnam
― The Last Valley: Dien Bien Phu and the French Defeat in Vietnam
