A poignant, angry, articulate book Newsweek 'Mr Fall's book is a dramatic treatment of a historic event graphic impact New York Times Originally published in 1961, before the United States escalated its involvement in South Vietnam, Street Without Joy offered a clear warning about what American forces would face in the jungles of Southeast Asia; a costly and protracted revolutionary war fought without fronts against a mobile enemy. In harrowing detail, Fall describes the brutality and frustrations of the Indochina War, the savage eight-year conflict, ending in 1954 after the fall of Dien Bien Phu, in which French forces suffered a staggering defeat at the hands of Communist-led Vietnamese nationalists. Street Without Joy was required reading for policymakers in Washington and GIs in the field and is now considered a classic.

Fall wrote the definitive book on why the US failed in Vietnam, and is doomed to fail in Afghanistan. American politicians may have read it, but they certainly didn't understand it!

Required reading for Vietnam Students
There is no better account of how Ho Chi Minh defeated the French and esablished the blueprint to defeat America. The future was there for anyone to see who took the trouble to look. This classic is a primer on assymetrical warfare.

Historical Parallel in Fall's Book
Street Without Joy should be in everybody's backpack who is going to be shipped to Afghanistan and every civilian's nightstand as we prepare to enter a war fueled by opium and fantical resistence. Although patriotic nationalism resulted in a united Vietnam, the energy of religous devotion of the Talliban fuels a resistance against occupation. Fall's history echoes through the past to the present with ink the color of the Vietnam Memorial.
