In this wartime novel, French Lt. Col. Pierre Raspéguy studies the political and military strategies of his captors, the Viet Minh, while a POW in a notorious Indochina prison camp. After his release, he joins a paratrooper unit in Algeria, where he begins to use his newly learned guerrilla tactics--tactics out of step with the ideals of just war. This Penguin Classics edition includes a foreword by military expert Robert D. Kaplan.
