A Vietnamese Fighter Pilot in an American War
Author: Hoi B. Tran
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 9781456847234
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
American pseudo history recorded the U.S. had lost the war in Viet Nam. However, "A Vietnamese Fighter Pilot in an American War" vehemently disagrees. Most Western journalists portrayed Ho Chi Minh as a nationalist patriot. As a former Vanguard Youth Troop in Ha Noi, North Viet Nam, who passionately sang "who loves Uncle Ho more than us children" to praise Ho when he seized power in 1945, the author says: "Ho was a villain." This book is a truthful account of what actually happened in Viet Nam from 1945, Dien Bien Phu in 1953 to its demise in April 1975.
