Based on multiarchival research conducted over almost three
decades, this landmark account tells how a few men set off a war
that would lead to tragedy for millions. Stein Tonnesson was one of
the first historians to delve into scores of secret French,
British, and American political, military, and intelligence
documents. In this fascinating account of an unfolding tragedy, he
brings this research to bear to disentangle the complex web of
events, actions, and mentalities that led to thirty years of war in
Indochina. As the story unfolds, Tonnesson challenges some
widespread misconceptions, arguing that French general Leclerc fell
into a Chinese trap in March 1946, and Vietnamese general Giap into
a French trap in December. Taking us from the antechambers of
policymakers in Paris to the docksides of Haiphong and the streets
of Hanoi, "Vietnam 1946 "provides the most vivid account to date of
the series of events that would make Vietnam the most embattled
area in the world during the Cold War period.
