...dared the enemy to come and get him and itched for a set-piece battle instead of Indo-China's usual, fruitless chases through the jungle. Navarre flew in light tanks and 155-mm. artillery; his officers installed their mess silver, their embroidered white tablecloths and their wine cellars, and (though a few high-placed officers were dubious from the beginning) they echoed Navarre's confidence.
