A fascinating piece of Cold War history. Published in communist Czechoslovakia in 1954, this book claims to be a report based on the testimonies of German veterans returning from the French Foreign Legion in Vietnam (First Indochina War). Steeped in heavy anti-Western and anti-imperialist ideology, it offers a unique look at Eastern Bloc propaganda of the 1950s. Includes period photographs. Hardcover, Czech text.
