The Indochina wars occupy a special place in the history of the bloodiest 20th century, which is approaching its end. In his new book, the famous publicist and historian M. M. Ilyinsky, a participant in the events in Indochina, recreates the tragic chronicle of the four Indochina wars: the struggle against the Japanese occupation of Indochina, the war against the French colonialists, the war against US aggression and the first war in history between socialist states - China and Vietnam. As a result, the author covers the period from 1939 to 1979.
