The states of Indochina had been French colonies or protectorates
since the 19th century. However, in March 1945 the Japanese interned
all French troops and officials, and turned over all civil government
to local authorities. The power vacuum caused by the Japanese
surrender allowed the Viet Minh, a strong revolutionary organisation,
to be established throughout Vietnam. When the French returned to the
north, incidents between French and VM troops were inevitable,
negotiations collapsed and the French opted for a military solution.
This book examines the history of the conflict and the forces of both
sides.
