This book is written largely about the history of viet nam and its fight for independence from France in the 1950s.
Even if you are an American who considers anything that contradicts your imperialist viewpoint "propaganda" this is worth a read.
If you would like to learn more, Luna oi on YouTube has excellent videos on this subject.
To its credit, this book does an excellent job of describing the strategic and operational level thinking of the Vietnamese communists in the period covered. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone studying the Vietnam war, so they can get a well rounded perspective of goals and intentions of the Vietnamese communists.
I was hoping for more discussion of Vietnamese military theory, but the underlying theory behind the North Vietnamese military plans and actions was not well addressed. Strategic thinking was articulated, but how they decided on these ends and ways was not. On the other hand, Giap recommended "The Resistance War Will Win" by Truong Chinh, so I guess I know what my next book will be.

A fascinating story.
