A rewrite of the novel "First a Torch," accepted by the French Foreign Legion as part of their official history in Vietnam, the book, and title, now better illustrates the events of the siege. The 14,000 French soldiers in the battle faced over 50,000 Viet Minh. Only about 3,000 French soldiers survived the battle and the subsequent internment.
