«Une sortie honorable» is the historical account by Éric Vuillard, published by Actes Sud Editions in paperback (208 pages, in French).
The narrative addresses the Indochina War, a twentieth-century conflict almost absent from textbooks, and the defeat of world powers at the hands of the Vietnamese people. Vuillard explores the tangle of diplomatic and political interests that led to disaster, with scenes such as the American offer of atomic bombs at Diên Biên Phu.
This edition appeared in January 2022; the work's subtitle is «récit» and it belongs to the «un endroit où aller» collection from Actes Sud.
The book is aimed at readers interested in the Indochina War, international politics and historical non-fiction narrative.
