Võ Nguyên Giáp 25 August 1911 - 4 October 2013 nicknamed "Red Napoleon" was a Vietnamese general who is regarded as having been one of the greatest military strategists of the 20th century. He served as the military commander of the Vi t Minh the commander of the People's Army of Vietnam PAVN minister of defense and deputy prime minister. Giáp served as the military leader of the Viet Minh resistance against the Japanese occupation of Vietnam. Giáp was a crucial military commander in two wars: the First Indochina War of 1946-1954 fighting against the French and the Vietnam War of 1955-1975 fighting against South Vietnam and its American backers. He participated in several historically significant battles including Cao B ng in 1950 Hòa Bình in 1951-1952 i n Biên Ph in 1954 the Tet Offensive in 1968 the Easter Offensive in 1972 and the final Ho Chi Minh Campaign of 1975. Giáp was a mastermind military builder; he had transformed the rebels to a 'fine light-infantry army' fielding cryptography artillery and advanced logistics and capable of challenging a larger modernized French Far East Expeditionary Corps and the Vietnamese National Army. He was a very effective logistician laying the foundation of the Ho Chi Minh trail recognized as one of the great feats of military engineering. It appears to be an undated pirate edition printed by the US Air Force Academy of Vo Nguyen Giap's account of the Vietnamese's stunning and historic victory over the French in 1954. The Battle of Dien Bien Phu was a climactic confrontation of the First Indochina War that took place between 13 March and 7 May 1954. It was fought between the French Union's colonial Far East Expeditionary Corps and Viet Minh communist revolutionaries. The United States was officially not a party to the war but it was secretly involved by providing financial and material aid to the French Union which included CIA contracted American personnel participating in the battle. The Peoples Republic of China and the Soviet Union similarly provided vital support to the Viet Minh including most of their artillery and ammunition. The French began an operation to insert then support their soldiers at i n Biên Ph deep in the west of Tonkin up in the hills of northwestern Vietnam. The operation's purpose was to cut off Viet Minh supply lines into the neighboring Kingdom of Laos and draw the Viet Minh into a major confrontation in order to cripple them. The plan was to resupply the French position by air - based on the belief that the Viet Minh had no anti-aircraft capability. The Viet Minh however under General Võ Nguyên Giáp surrounded and besieged the French. They brought in vast amounts of heavy artillery including anti-aircraft guns and managed to move these bulky weapons through difficult terrain up the rear slopes of the mountains. They then dug tunnels through the mountains and arranged the guns to target the French position. In March a massive artillery bombardment by the Viet Minh ensued. The strategic positioning of their artillery made it nearly impervious to French counter-battery fire. Tenacious fighting on the ground ensued reminiscent of the trench warfare of World War I. At times the French repulsed Viet Minh assaults on their positions while supplies and reinforcements were delivered by air. As key positions were overrun the perimeter contracted and the air resupply on which the French had placed their hopes became impossible. As the Viet Minh anti-aircraft fire took its toll fewer and fewer of those supplies reached the French. The garrison was overrun in May after a two-month siege and most of the French forces surrendered. A few of them escaped to Laos. The French government in Paris then resigned and the new Prime Minister the left-of-centre Pierre Mendès France supported French withdrawal from Indochina. Of the 11000 French troops captured only 3300 survived imprisonment. The Battle of i n Biên Ph was decisive; the war ended shortly afterward and the 1954 Geneva Accords were signed. France agreed to withdraw its forces from all its colonies in French Indochina while stipulating that Vietnam would be temporarily divided at the 17th parallel with control of the north given to the Viet Minh as the Democratic Republic of Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh and the south becoming the State of Vietnam nominally under Emperor B o i preventing Ho Chi Minh from gaining control of the entire country.

This collection includes the major writings of General Giap who on the evidence of his record as well as his theoretical work has long been recognized as one of the military geniuses of modern times. The book is presented here with a valuable historical introduction by Russell Stetler. Giap's story is the epic story of how a small backward peasant people fought to a standstill within less than one generation three of the most powerful military machines of the twentieth century--those of Japan of colonial France and of the United States. Giáp had no direct military training and was a history teacher at a French-speaking academy influenced by historical military leaders and personally citing T. E. Lawrence and Napoleon as his two greatest influences. Highly recommended for readers who seek a holistic understanding behind the conflict. Võ Nguyên Giáp 25 August 1911 – 4 October 2013 was an army general in the Vietnam People's Army and a politician. Võ Nguyên Giáp has been called one of the greatest military strategists of the 20th century. He first rose to prominence during World War II where he served as the military leader of the Viet Minh resistance against the Japanese occupation of Vietnam and also as Defence Minister & Deputy Prime Minister for nearly 44 years. Giáp was a crucial military commander in two wars: the First Indochina War of 1946–1954 and the Vietnam War of 1955–1975 participating in several historically significant battles: Cao B ng in 1950 Hòa Bình in 1951–1952 i n Biên Ph in 1954 the T t Offensive in 1968 the Easter Offensive in 1972 and the final Ho Chi Minh Campaign of 1975. Giáp was a mastermind military builder; during the First Indochina War he had transformed a rag-tag band of rebels to a 'fine light-infantry army' fielding cryptography artillery and advanced logistics5 and capable of challenging a larger modernized French Far East Expeditionary Corps and the Vietnamese National Army. He was also a very effective logistician laying the foundation of the Ho Chi Minh trail recognized as one of the great feats of military engineering of the 20th century. Võ Nguyên Giáp served as Military Minister and Chief of Staff and is often credited with North Vietnam's military victory over South Vietnam and the US during the Vietnam War. Recent scholarship indicates other leaders had played more prominent roles with former subordinates and now rivals V n Ti n D ng and Hoàng V n Thái assuming a more direct military responsibility than Giáp. Nevertheless he played a pivotal role in the second transformation of the PAVN into "one of the largest most formidable" mechanized and combined-arms fighting force capable of delivering a knockout blow to an increasingly more powerful rival Army of the Republic of Vietnam in conventional warfare.
