What is The Final Days of Empire: France’s Bloodied Exit from Indochina about?

The hills of northern Indochina, the frontiers of a region called Tonkin where stark highlands merge with those of the neighboring Chinese provinces and, to the west, give way to the valleys of Laos, were the backdrop to the death throes of France's imperial designs of Indochinese domination. Blood would be spilt here - in torrents. It was an ugly war, a war of contempt, of treachery, of sabotage. It was a war of victims and abandonment and atonement; a war of desecration, of mutilation, of evisceration. Above all, it was a war of a geography as malignant as the combatants within. And for those sent to heal, a war of sweat, death, isolation, and uncommon benevolence.
