Someone offered me this book some weeks ago but didn't read it yet. I'm interested in what you think about it.

I managed to snag a twelve volume copy of a cold war history book called War in Peace that was being given away by the School Library. Needless to say I have been buried in it for the previous few days

Well, combat jumps straight in a hot zone were indeed a thing in Indochina.
But a game set on this theater would only demonstrate the point why they are forbidden in Wargame: from 1946 to 1949, "hot" combat jumps proved successfull because we only faced a guerilla army, very light and lacking AA doctrine.
But from late 1949 to the end (Dien Bien Phu), the VM got training and heavy equipment from the Red Chinese, victors from the Chinese civil war. And from then on, "hot" combat jump proved always more costly if not complete failures.
Dien Bien Phu alone should be a testimony to this.
