Giap & General Giap
A very good memory hook for me is Giap.
General Giap ,of the famed Ho Chih Min Trail in the Vietnam war against the French and Americans,is a foremost military strategist.
‘We were waiting for them’
Vo Nguyen Giap is the Vietnamese general who planned the Ho Chi Minh trail and defeated the French at Dien Bien Phu. In a rare interview with the author of a book about the trail, he recalls his part in defying the might of the US military.
