Ho Chi Minh by William J Duiker
Although Ho Chi Minh's life helped shape the twentieth century, not until now has there been a major biography of this immensely important and elusive figure. This astonishing work of history by a world-renowned authority on Vietnam now fills this gap taking full advantage of much information and archives only recently declassified. engrossing and impeccably researched, this is a revelatory portrait of one of the most towering and mysterious figures of our time, a charismatic leader whose legacy continues to inspire and confound.
William J Duiker is the leading scholar on the life of Ho Chi Minh. He has travelled repeatedly to Vietnam over the last decade to obtain research materials and to interview some of the few living Vietnamese who knew Ho well. In 1997, he retired from the history department at Penn. State University. He now lives in North Carolina.
