Will a deadly trap finally defeat an elusive enemy... or destroy an empire?
"Come and get us!" is the French paratroopers' taunt. They are alluring bait so far from their supply lines... and reinforcements. Their destruction could be the final blow that wins the war.
But Ho Chi Minh is no fool. The French have artillery and an air force. His Viet Minh have only antiquated weapons and an unquenchable thirst for freedom. Still, the French carrot is tempting. And he does have one thing the French don't. One thing they never planned on. One thing that could move mountains... if it only gets there in time.
They built a fortress – impregnable. And an airbridge – their lifeline and only means of escape. It's an all or nothing gamble. Hubris is a cruel mistress.
We Stand Alone is historical fiction based on a true story — The Siege of Dien Bien Phu — the longest battle in a forgotten war. The Americans were there, fighting and dying. Their involvement in Vietnam gaining momentum like a locomotive that cannot be stopped.
What will be the final price of victory... and who will pay?
