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 bohème 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.
