Ho Chi Minh Mystery Man Leads Indo China Revolution

Charles M. McCann outlines Ho Chi Minh as the elusive figure behind the Viet Nam rebel movement at Geneva. Born Nguyenvan Tat Thanh, Ho’s life spans diasporic years in Canton, Hong Kong, San Francisco, London, and Paris. He rose to lead 700 fighters in 1944 against Japan and later navigated the 1948 Franco-Vietnamese power shift, though Franco-Viet Nam accords never fully took hold. The piece traces his long, secret campaign to oust French rule.
