In this book, author Dai Trang Nguyen presents the human side of her understanding of Ho Chi Minh. Using his life and thought as a backdrop, Dr. Nguyen highlights the need to improve cross-cultural dialogue as a vital component of conflict resolution in international relations. The relevance of the legacy of this outstanding revolutionary leader in the development of modern Vietnam – as well as much of the developing world – is analyzed with extensive new research and large doses of humanity in a thoughtful, highly inspirational new work.
