N1  - Originally published in French as Ho Chi Minh : Du révolutionnaire à l'icone; Includes bibliographical references  (p. 243-257) and index; In search of a future -- A missionary of revolution -- Under the sword of damocles -- Father of the nation -- The force of circumstance
N2  - Ho Chi Minh is one of the towering figures of the twentieth century, considered an icon and father of the nation by many Vietnamese. Pierre Brocheux's biography of Ho Chi Minh is a brilliant feat historical engineering. In a concise and highly readable account, he negotiates the many twists and turns of Ho Chi Minh's life and his multiple identities, from impoverished beginnings as a communist revolutionary to his foundings of the Indochina Communist Party and the League for the Independence of Vietnam, and ultimately to his leadership of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and his death in 1969. -- Cover
