Quote:
"The ambushes nourished a permanent feeling of insecurity, immobilizing scores of troops in the sector, undermining the morale by their murderous repetition and permitting the recuperation of weapons and material (Photo CMIDOM)". From: René Bail and Jean-Pierre Bernier, Indochine 1945-1954. 1.La Reconquête. Editions Heimdal, p.42.
