Ebook: Victory at Any Cost: The Genius of Viet Nam's Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap

"Until now, reports of Giap's life story have been a patchwork of erroneous information and larger-than-life legends. Even his date of birth has been misreported. Victory at Any Cost is the only thoroughly documentedand complete biography of Giap from his birth through his schooling; his exile in China; his complex relationships with the French, Ho Chi Minh, and the contentious Communist Party; his early role as journalist and propagandist; his development of a victorious peasant army; and his genius at defeating superior forces. This well written narrative is made richer by the author's insights gained as a respected military historian, U.S. Army officer, and author of two highly acclaimed books on the Viet Nam War. Cecil Currey spices this book throughout with his analysis of the campaigns, battles, strategy, and tactics of Giap and his opponents."
