(2002)

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0ryf3-WD68

 

 

 

All's fair in love and war.

 

This is a story about two nasty guys. You

wouldn’t want to meet either of them. They  

truley deserve each other. 

 

One is a British journalist; the other is a

secret agent of the American government.

And there's a native woman involved.

  

The Viet-Minh were Vietnamese patriots who

fought against the Japanese occupation of

Vietnam in WW2. After the war they fought for independence from French colonial rule in Vietnam.

They had the support of the Chinese and Soviet

Communists.

 

The Viet-Minh resorted to terrorism. In 1952

they exploded a bomb in Hanoi to terrorize

the population.

 

A British journalist in Vietnam wrote a novel

centred around the Hanoi terrorist bombing.

But he changed the story a bit. He changed

the locale to Saigon and he wrote that the

Americans, who backed the French, planted

the bomb and blamed it on the Viet-Minh.

 

The book was considered anti-American.

 

Did something like that ever happen?

 

What is true, but not mentioned in the story, 

is that the French army had to kill an 

American embassy official in Vietnam for

procuring weapons to the Viet-Minh.
