Ho Chi Minh first started answering his own question of how to save Vietnam through his contact with the French Communist Party, when it was still really communist. Ho was no doubt aware that the social-democrats had just backed a World War I over colonies at the expense of millions of proletarians' blood spilled; yet somehow Ho naively expected these same social- democrats to turn around and unite to save his colonized country. www.etext.org /Politics/MIM/bookstore/books/asia/duikerho.html   (3741 words)

DECARO -- Ho Chi Minh's Rhetoric for Revolution Ho Chi Minh’s second theme is that of “equality” or the “right not to be brutally exploited.” He relentlessly condemned the oppression, exploitation, and torture suffered by the Vietnamese peasant by French colonialists. Ho had all the qualities necessary in a leader, and his austerity, perseverance, iron determination and whole-hearted devotion to the cause of the Revolution were an inspiration to all who served under him and to the nation as a whole. Ho deliberately did not seek the trappings of power and authority, as if he were so sure of himself and his relationship to both his people and history that he did not need statues and bridges, books and photographs to prove it to him or them. acjournal.org /holdings/vol3/Iss3/spec1/decaro.html   (9393 words)

CNN.com - Books - Review: 'Ho Chi Minh' a richly complex biography - November 17, 2000 In "Ho Chi Minh," William J. Duiker, a foreign service officer in South Vietnam in the 1960s who since has written notable books on the area, has rendered a discerning portrait of one of the past century's most memorable, fascinating figures. Ho is largely remembered in mythic terms, both in Vietnam and abroad, but Duiker has made a formidable case for Ho's significance on the world stage. Ho is "in the pantheon of revolutionary heroes," Duiker writes, a leader who gave voice and example to the aspirations of oppressed, subjugated peoples everywhere. archives.cnn.com /2000/books/reviews/11/17/salon.review.hochiminh   (1109 words)

Air Force Magazine The Ho Chi Minh Trail was not a single road but rather a honeycomb of routes, passing through country that was alternately limestone karst, triple-canopy jungle, and grassland. SOG patrols scouted the Ho Chi Minh Trail, identified targets, called in air strikes, captured prisoners, planted mines, and performed such “direct action” missions as attacking North Vietnamese facilities on the trail. It was a conflict directed and sustained by North Vietnam and the lifeline for it was the Ho Chi Minh Trail. www.afa.org /magazine/Nov2005/1105trail.asp   (4765 words)

The OSS and Ho Chi Minh In Vietnam, this meant that OSS officers worked with Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Minh, whose ultimate aim was to rid the region of all imperialist powers, not just the Japanese. Ho, for his part, did whatever he could to encourage the OSS’s negative view of the French, who were desperate to regain their colony. Although the OSS did not bring Ho Chi Minh to power, Bartholomew-Feis shows that its apparent support for the Viet Minh played a significant symbolic role in helping them fill the power vacuum left in the wake of Japan’s surrender. www.kansaspress.ku.edu /baross.html   (444 words)
