 | | Prince Cuong De, viewed by the French as a pretender to the Vietnamese throne, was an important and interesting figure in the history of Vietnam's struggle for independence, but who, highly regarded by many non-communist Vietnamese Nationalists, has been 'written out' of Vietnamese history by the communists. |
