Valuable books about General Vo Nguyen Giap published

On the occasion of General Vo Nguyen Giap’s 100th birthday (25/8/1911 – 25/8/2011), many publishers have introduced valuable insights into the General’s life to readers.

The Youth Publishing House has launched a biography titled “Vo Nguyen Giap – the 100-year spirit”, while the Kim Dong Publishing House has launched the pictorial book, “General Vo Nguyen Giap, one century - two long marches”. The Truth-National Political Publishing House, in conjunction with the Society of Sciences Association, has also published "General, Commander-in-chief Vo Nguyen Giap with Vietnamese history”.

By guiding the reader through multiple layers of legal literature, the book ‘Vo Nguyen Giap – the 100–year spirit” by historian and researcher Tran Khai Binh captures the revolutionary life of the hero known as ‘the person who transited the flow of history in the 20th century."

The book “General Vo Nguyen Giap, one century - two long marches”, compiled by Anh Chi, includes nearly 300 pictures. They are sorted by time and concentrate on the historic sites where the General’s talented strategy was evident. The book titled “General, Commander-in-chief Vo Nguyen Giap with Vietnamese history” is a meaningful gift that the Party, State, Army and people cheered, showing their respect to General Vo Nguyen Giap, a talented military officer, and a character who has become legendary, not only for Vietnam, but also for the wider world on the occasion of his 100th birthday.

The 420-page book is divided into two parts:

Part 1 contains articles about the General, and a collection of several of his articles and memoirs published in the “Ancient and Now” Magazine.

Part 2 contains a collection of articles by domestic and foreign scientists and researchers writing about the General’s life and career, detailing their good memories, admiration and respect for the great man.
