ISBN:  1551529238 (paperback) 9781551529233 (paperback) Description:  293 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "By the author of Such a Lovely Little War and Saigon Calling, a stirring graphic novel about love, beauty, and war in 1950s Indochina. 40 Men and 12 Rifles is an expansive, gripping graphic novel set in Indochina in the year leading up to 1954, when the French-held garrison at Dien Bien Phu fell after a four-month battle, leading to the end of the first Indochina war between French forces and Ho Chi Minh's nationalist rebels. Minh (no relation to Ho) is a young man from Hanoi, an aspiring painter who dreams of experiencing la vie boheme in Paris's Latin Quarter. To dissuade him from pursuing an artistic life, his father sends him into the countryside to tend to the family's holdings. He is soon pressed into serving with the Ho Chi Minh rebels, where he becomes a soldier despite repeatedly defying his cadres - ideological Communist commanders with whom he disagrees - becoming both hero and anti-hero in the process. 40 Men and 12 Rifles is a moving and beautifully illustrated book about the human and artistic spirit of the Indochinese people who persevered in the face of warfare and suffering."-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Truong   Checked out 05/23/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Truong Graphic Format Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult New Books Truong   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Truong [Graphic] Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Truong Graphic Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Truong Graphic Novel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult New Books Truong [Graphic] Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
