Prelude To The Vietnam War. It was the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu that led directly to America's involvement in Vietnam. The battle ranks as one of the most decisive military campaigns of the Twentieth Century and is a fascinating tale of arrogance, false pride, astonishing heroism, and gross military bungling. The story is augmented with powerful film footage and first hand accounts
