Synopsis
The Definitive Biography of One of the Most Impressive and Elusive Figures in History; Finally in paperback, the book that was named a New York Times Notable Book, as well as one of the best books of the year by both the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. Although Ho Chi Minh's life helped shape the 20th century, not until now has there been a major biography of this immensely important and little-understood political figure. This impressive work of history by a world-renowned authority on Vietnam now fills this gap, taking full advantage of information only recently declassified. Duiker, who has appeared on A&E, NPR, C-Span and Radio 4 to share his knowledge of Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnam War, now presents this wealth of information in driven, page-turning prose. Engrossing and impeccably researched, this is a revelatory portrait of one of the most mysterious figures of our time.
