Description
A gripping and shocking novel about the complexities of war and colonialism. In 1950, France is struggling to maintain its presence in Indochina, with politicians facing an impossible choice: withdraw or risk global embarrassment. As the conflict rages on, Éric Vuillard exposes the tangled web of interests that drove key players to make decisions that prioritized financial gain over national pride. With a keen eye for detail, Vuillard brings to life the brutal realities of war and the cold calculations of those who wielded power from behind the scenes. This is a searing account of a conflict that dealt a fatal blow to French colonialism, revealing the darker motivations that often underpin even the most seemingly noble causes.
