Hi on Radio  4 tonight at 8, The Siege of Dien Bien Phi.

Will catch tomorrow on iplayer

Thanks for heads up.

That's one for tonight when everyone else is asleep, thank you for the spot.

Thanks for the 'heads up' and will try and catch up in the week at work .

Thanks for pointing this out. It was a fascinating listen and I learned a lot, not least that the use of tactical nukes was suggested at one point. The courage of the French was deeply moving, especially the medics.
