Description
From a cell of nine men in 1925, the Vietnamese Communists grew by December 1976 into a massive party with over 1.5 million members and the organizational and military capabilities to defeat the United States. What factors account for the outstanding success of the Indochinese Communist Party? In this book, Huynh Kim Khanh traces the Vietnamese Communist movement from its inception as a radical youth group founded by Ho Chi Minh (then Nguyen Ai Quoc) to its half-planned, half-accidental victory in 1945.
Reviews
This book represents an important turning point in the historiography of modern Vietnam, and it is assuredly the best book on the Communist party in a major Western language.... An outstanding analysis of the first phase of the longest revolutionary struggle in modern history.
