Ho Chi Minh, the founder of the Vietminh and President of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, having defeated Japanese, French, and U. S. colonialism, was the leading figure in fighting for Vietnamese independence. Ho Chi Minh represented the best of Vietnamese people, and humanity in general, because of his genuine concern and love for the most dispossessed in Vietnamese society and oppressed nationalities worldwide. In this collection of writings he describes the barbarity of French colonialism and cross references those abuses with the colonial violence Africans experience in the United States.
