April Extra Credit Book

For those interested, the (final) extra-credit book is Bernard Fall's "Streets Without Joy" (Amazon Link; though I don't care where you get the book).

This is a history of the French attempts to win against the insurgent Viet Minh in the 1950s. It is supposed to be a classic of the insurgency/counter-insurgency literature (which I teach, which is why I should read it).

If you want to participate, get the book and have it read by the end of April; we'll get together in early May to talk about it.
