Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the trial of a century in colonial Hong Kong when, in 1931–33, Ho Chi Minh - the future President of Vietnam - faced down deportation to French-controlled territory with a death sentence dangling over him. Thanks to his appeal to English common law, Ho Chi Minh won his reprieve. With extradition a major political issue in Hong Kong today, Geoffrey C. Gunn's examination of the legal case of Ho Chi Minh offers a timely insight into the rule of law and the issue of extradition in the former British colony. Utilizing little known archival material, Gunn sheds new light on Ho Chi Minh, communist and anti-colonial networks and Franco–British relations.

Book excerpt: "When Ho Chi Minh died in 1969 Time magazine wrote: "No national leader has stood so stubbornly or so long before the enemy's guns." Ho was a man who understood how to compromise without losing sight of his goal, but he will perhaps be best remembered as the leader who attempted to humanize Marxism. And yet although the name of the first President of Vietnam is known throughout the world, the figure behind the Presidency has remained in the shadow; until now there has been very little biographical material available in this country." --Page [2] of cover.

Download or read book Ho Chi Minh s Blueprint for Revolution written by Virginia Morris and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-08-27 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Saigon fell to North Vietnamese forces on April 30, 1975, the communist victory sent shockwaves around the world. Using ingenious strategy and tactics, Hồ Chi Minh had shown it was possible for a tiny nation to defeat a mighty Western power. The same tactics have been studied and replicated by revolutionary forces and terrorist organizations across the globe. Drawing on recently declassified documents and rare interviews with Hồ Chi Minh's strategists and operatives, this book offers fresh perspective on his blueprint and the reasons behind both the French (1945-1954) and the American (1959-1975) failures in Vietnam, concluding with an analysis of the threat this model poses today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this portrait not only of the man but of his people and of the cause to which he dedicated his entire life, Reinhold Neumann-Hoditz traces Ho Chi Minh's career from his birth in 1990 to his death in 1969. Special attention is given to his early political training in Paris, his role with guerrilla insurgents in the Montagnard countryside, his visits to China and Russia, and events which led to the decisive battle of Dienbienphu in 1954 and the revolt of the peasants two years later. The autobiographer has drawn extensively on North Vietnamese sources and Ho Chi Minh's own works to present a detailed picture of the intriguing figure who was known as Nguyen Tat Than, Nguyen Ai Quoc, and "Uncle Ho." A wide variety of photographs richly chronicles the leading personality in a drama that has its roots in the nineteenth century and continues to this day"--
Download or read book Chinese Migrant Workers and Employer Domination written by Kaxton Siu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores three major changes in the circumstances of the migrant working class in south China over the past three decades, from historical and comparative perspectives. It examines the rise of a male migrant working population in the export industries, a shift in material and social lives of migrant workers, and the emergence of a new non-coercive factory regime in the industries. By conducting on-site fieldwork regarding Hong Kong-invested garment factories in south China, Hong Kong and Vietnam, alongside factory-gate surveys in China and Vietnam, this book examines how and why the circumstances of workers in these localities are dissimilar even when under the same type of factory ownership. In analyzing workers’ lives within and outside factories, and the expansion of global capitalism in East and Southeast Asia, the book contributes to research on production politics and everyday life practice, and an understanding of how global and local forces interact.
Download or read book Vietnam and China 1938 1954 written by King C. Chen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pondering the origins of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, Professor Chen turns to the Indochinese war (1946-1954), the Vietnamese Communist movement under Ho Chi Minh (1944-1945), and even earlier to Ho's activities in the late 1930’s. He examines the questions: Did the Sino-Vietnamese relationship after World War II assist or hinder the Vietminh Communists? Why was the Vietminh able to obtain Chinese military aid without inviting massive Chinese intervention, as happened in Korea? What was the Soviet position on the Indochinese war and what was it at the Geneva Conference of 1954? Is there any difference between Vietnam’s relations with the weak Nationalist China in the 1940’s and those with powerful Communist regime in the 1950’s? Finally, Professor Chen compares the position of the United States, North Vietnam, Britain, Communist China, and the Soviet Union in 1954 and 1968. Originally published in 1969.
