...screw up his face a little more as each scene reaches new heights of emotional seriousness. By the grand climactic scene, when he goes to his dead wife's sister to plead for the return of his baby girl, the grimace has reached Hallowe'en proportions.

Ho's patient preparation was finally rewarded last spring, when the Communists struck characteristically on two fronts 5,000 miles apart: with Red China field guns and Russian rocket launchers, they crumbled the valiant French garrison at Dien-bienphu; with Chou En-lai and Molotov, they crumbled Western resolution at Geneva. One day last month, in one of the most extraordinary spectacles of Asia's long, unfolding panorama, French tanks withdrew from Hanoi before Viet Minh infantrymen wearing sneakers...
