In 1954 on the remote jungle battlefield of Dien Bien Phu, the communist Vietminh defeated French Colonialism. The pursuing peace was only a pause between conflicts on the Indochinese Peninsula, sustainable peace a myth. Beneath the surface of perpetual wars, Corsican syndicates, Vietnamese gangsters, and the CIA postured for control of the Laotian opium trade. American puppets under an anti-communist banner, exploited the populous. Communist extracted a heavy penance from Western collaborators. Winning hearts and minds competed with death's harvest. Crawling out of the French garrison Isabelle, Max Kohl a German in the French Foreign Legion plunges into this lethal world. As a boy soldier of the Third Reich, his Nazi mentors taught him the military skills to survive. Haunted by past anti-Semitic sins, he drifts on the tides of continuous Indochina conflicts.
