[edit] HO CHI MINH
This volume explores Ho's prepower political career, from his emergence at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, to his organization of the Viet Minh united front at the start of World War II.
Exploration of Ho's early career from Paris Peace Conference to beginnning of Second World War; This book explores Ho's pre-power political career, from his emergence at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, to his organisation of the Viet Minh united front at the start of the Second World War. Using previously untapped sources from Comintern and French intelligence archives, Sophie Quinn-Judge examines Ho's life in the light of two interconnecting themes - the origins and institutional development of the Indochinese Communist Party (ICP), and the impact on early Vietnamese communism of political developments in China and the Soviet Union. She makes the case that Ho's significance within the Comintern has been overstated by both leftist and anti-communist scholarship; she shows that there were other forces and personalities who played important roles in the formation of the ICP, especially when Ho's political fortunes were on the wane. Of special interest is her treatment of the impact on Vietnamese communism of the Guomindang and the Nanyang Committee of the CCP. She also highlights the importance of Ho's family and regional ties in his efforts to maintain his influence within the ICP. From the growing body of evidence now available, she creates the foundation for a historical portrait of the Vietnamese leader, a departure from the myths of left and right which have in the past been substitutes for biography.
