40 Men and 12 Rifles excerpted in Publishers Weekly
40 Men and 12 Rifles, a new graphic novel by Marcelino Truong (author of the graphic memoirs Such a Lovely Little War and Saigon Calling), is excerpted in Publishers Weekly, which calls it "deeply researched and richly illustrated."
40 Men and 12 Rifles is an expansive, gripping graphic novel set in Indochina in the year leading up to 1954, when the French-held garrison at Dien Bien Phu fell after a fifty-five-day battle, leading to the end of the first Indochina war opposing both French and Nationalist Vietnamese forces to Ho Chi Minh's National-Communist underground state.
