The Quicksand War: Prelude to Vietnam is a book by Lucien Bodard published in 1967 about the First Indochina War, which it asserts to be a prelude to the Vietnam War.[1] Originally published in 2 French volumes, L'Enlisement and L'Humiliation, it was combined into a single book and translated by Patrick O'Brien.

Lucien Bodard is one of the best-known French foreign correspondents and is an expert on Indochina; he knows the Far East as few Europeans can know it, for not only did he spend most of his working life there[2] but he was born in Chongqing.
