Ho Chi Minh and the Indochina War, by Axel Silverstone || Lords of War Vol. 3 || Audiobook by LA CASE Books.

Ho Chi Minh was one of the central characters of the twentieth century. Everyone remembers him for leading North Vietnam together with General Giap in the incredible military victory against the United States, but his story began long before that dirty war.

Ho Chi Minh, unlike many revolutionary leaders of the time such as Mao himself, wrote and spoke various foreign languages ​​such as French, English, Russian, German and Chinese. He had been a worker, a sailor, a pastry chef assistant to the internationally renowned cook Escoffier in the luxurious London hotel Carlton, the Buddhist monk in Siam.

He had traveled through China disguising himself as a blind peasant, then finding work in Manchuria invaded by Japan as a French journalist. But, above all, he had been the man capable of breaking French colonial chains over Indochina by forever changing the face of South East Asia.

The life of Ho Chi Minh is the fascinating tale of the man who was able to create modern Vietnam without stopping in front of anyone, a skilled and ruthless politician who left an indelible mark on history.
