Through 100 letters, Jacques Jauffret, a young officer with the 1er REC (1st Foreign Cavalry Regiment), takes us through two years of his posting in Indochina. Given the nature of the terrain, the 1er REC was equipped with American-made amphibious vehicles. Beyond this first-hand account from the level of the rice paddies and rivers, what makes these letters particularly original is that they are annotated 40 years after they were written — a first-hand testimony analysed with the benefit of hindsight.
