Book Description: Bernard Fall: Memories of a Soldier-Scholar
(Paperback) by Dorothy Fall. Bernard Fall wrote the classics Street
Without Joy and Hell in a Very Small Place, which detailed the French
experience in Vietnam. One of the first (and the best-informed) Western
observers to say that the United States could not win there either, he
was killed in Vietnam in 1967 while accompanying a Marine platoon.

Written by his widow Dorothy, Bernard Fall: Memories of a
Soldier-Scholar tells the story of this courageous and influential
Frenchman, who experienced many of the major events of the twentieth
century. His mother perished at Auschwitz, his father was killed by the
Gestapo, and he himself fought in the Resistance. It focuses, however,
on Vietnam and on two love stories. The first details Fall's love for
Vietnam and his efforts to save the country from destruction and the
United States from disaster. The second shows a husband and father
dedicated to a cause that continuously lured him away from those he
loved. With a foreword by the late David Halberstam.
