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."-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a "First published in French as 40 hommes et 12 fusils by Marcelino Truong ©2022 EÌditions DenoeÌl, France"--Page facing title page. 500 $a Translation of: 40 hommes et 12 fusils : Indochine 1954. 546 $a Translated from the French. 648 7 $a 1946-1954 $2 fast 650 0 $a Indochinese War, 1946-1954 $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Indochinese War, 1946-1954 $x Propaganda $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Artists $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Soldiers $x Social conditions $v Comic books, strips, etc. 651 0 $a Vietnam $x Armed Forces $v Comic books, strips, etc. 655 7 $a graphic novels. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300265568 655 7 $a Comics (Graphic works) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921613 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726630 655 7 $a War comics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01922583 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a War comics. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical comics. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans graphiques. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000412 655 7 $a Bandes dessineÌes de guerre. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000591 776 08 $i Online version: $a Truong, Marcelino. $s 40 hommes et 12 fusils.
