Dien Bien Phu

(4) YA Sieges That Changed the World series. These two books provide relatively in-depth overviews of the sieges of, respectively, Stalingrad during World War II and Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam in 1954; also discussed are the events leading up to the sieges and their aftermaths. Photos break up the dense texts, both of which suffer from what comes off as slapdash writing. Timeline. Bib., ind. [Review covers these Sieges That Changed the World titles: Stalingrad and Dien Bien Phu.]
