Trailblazers of Fortune

Trailblazers of Fortune is the story of an enterprising French family who arrived in Vietnam right after the French Navy attacked Da Nang in 1858 and who remained involved in the colony until the Vietnamese finally defeated the colonialists at the famous battle at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. Quick to exploit the opportunities opened up by France's military operations, three French brothers with a seemingly insatiable appetite for adventure and keen eye for business opportunities boldly set forth on the escapade of a lifetime. They made their reputations. They were captured by pirates and held for ransom. They made and lost and re-made fortunes. They built a business empire which they handed on to the next generation of the family.
