"Operation Vulture" tells the story of secret U.S. efforts to sustain the French in Indochina, of the men who labored alongside the French military, of the frantic behind-closed-door meetings and confrontations in Washington as diplomats sought the American's intervention, and of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's reluctant step back from sending in the Marines and using atomic bombs.Presenting the story from the U.S., French, and Vietnamese points of view, this eBook edition of "Operation Vulture" is completely revised and rewritten, with new text on almost every international facet of the Dien Bien Phu battle.
