Purge Rumors Hit North Viet Nam Figure Giap
Reports from Hue say General Giap has vanished for over a month amid purges within the North Vietnamese leadership. The Red press is silent while rumors spread that Giap is imprisoned or on a secret tour in China or Russia. If true, this signals a power struggle between factions with Moscow and Beijing influence. Giap, 43, forged a brutal yet brilliant military career under Ho Chi Minh, rising from interior minister to commander in chief and guiding guerrilla war against the French. The purge would reflect broader factional tensions, possibly Moscow-led, in a line of purges that have touched Vietnamese revolutionary leadership before.
