	Vo Nguyen Giap - Wikipedia
		Giap besteedde veel aandacht aan politieke instructie, niet omdat hij communist was met een voorkeur voor ideologische indoctrinatie, maar omdat hij er als nationalist van uitging dat de strijd vooral politiek zou worden beslist.
		In Giaps gedachtegang voerde Vietnam een politieke strijd; in dit opzicht ontleende hij veel aan de ervaringen van de Chinese communisten en aan de politieke en strategische theorieën van Mao Zedong.
		Giap is voorgesteld als de man die de Japanners in Tonkin in het nauw dreef, het Franse kolonialisme in Indo-China de nekslag gaf en met succes de Verenigde Staten weerstond.

		Giap of course, is a legend, with a larger-than-life image which the party and State in Hanoi, as well as the world's press, have enthusiastically contributed.
		Vo Nguyen Giap was born, by his account, in 1912 in the village of An Xa, Quang Binh province, although other reports say he was born into a peasant family, but former associates say his family was impoverished mandarin of lower rank.
		Giap opposed it, although evidence of this is mostly inferential, holding that a quick military solution was not possible, that Pol Pot would embrace a dau tranh strategy against PAVN and the result would be a bogged down war.

		Giap's initial knowledge of war and its politics came from his study of the French Revolution and Napoleon.
		Giap himself had reservations about the Tet offensive and the Politburo's decision to seek a quick victory rather than the strategy of protracted war.
		Giap not only became a master of tactics, logistics, and strategy, but "invented a tactical warfare that neither France nor the United States was able to overcome." The conclusion in this narrative is that Giap's "military accomplishments are matched by few in history."
