About this listen

"Not only are the characters compelling, but Corley skillfully builds tension… using sensory details and vivid descriptions." — Forward Clarion

In 1951, the Indochina War rages between French imperialists and the Viet Minh rebels.

After several victories, the French Army is dealt its first major defeat by Ho Chi Minh and his Viet Minh rebels. Cautious, China and Russia wait in the wings, watching America’s resolve. Nobody wants World War III.

With the French desperately short on troops, weapons, and aircraft, America must wrestle with how deeply to become involved in the growing conflict. Newly elected congressman and war hero, John F. Kennedy goes on a fact-finding mission throughout Southeast Asia. His goal – find the truth and prevent America from making a terrible mistake that could have irreparable consequences.

Rene Granier, a former OSS Deer Team member and now a CIA officer, is asked to accompany JFK as his advisor and bodyguard. Granier is the only man alive that has fought alongside the Viet Minh and the French. Now both want his head as he goes back into the lion’s den – Saigon. Risking his life to help Kennedy find the truth, Granier comes face to face with his past.

Will those that once fought by his side now assassinate Granier and Kennedy to keep the truth buried and continue the war?

Based on historical events and real people, The War Before the War is the true story of unbelievable courage, tenacity, and betrayal. It’s captivating history that few know.
