I have to agree with Major Destructions comments. Revisionisim is always hard to swallow especially whenthe excepted dogma appears so convincing. Some may remember the attack on John Terraine in the 50's and 60's when he started his research on The Great War. His work is now accepted and it is often argued that it didn't go far enough and their is a whole host of work doing that right now. I would recommend people read Mosiers work and form their own opinions. I for one am interested in reading it. It may be hard to swallow but in 10 to 20 years may be the wxcpeted version of events. We must remember that these are interpretations of the facts.
Back to the topic I have got Martin Windrows 'The Last Valley: Dien Bien Phu and the french defeat in Indo-China' on the go at the mo. Seems like an excellent read so far. A subject that doesn't see mcuh in the english language. A real sham IMHO.
