Books honour country’s big anniversaries

The National Political Publishing House has published a series of books on the Vietnamese Revolution and late President Ho Chi Minh to honour the 70th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19) and National Day (September 2).

The books include a concise Vietnamese history; Vietnam’s Revolution on the “international chessboard” – history and agendas; the Declaration of Independence in 1945 and Vietnam’s constitutions in 1946, 1959, 1980, 1992, and 2013, among others.

The books on Vietnam’s Revolution focus on the country’s foreign relations including the links between Vietnam and outside forces, both allies and enemies, while books on Ho Chi Minh feature the irreplaceable role of the country’s founding father in the nation’s revolutionary process.

“Bac Ho o Tan Trao” (Uncle Ho in Tan Trao) and “Nhung ky niem Bac Ho voi bo doi phong khong- khong quan” (Uncle Ho memories with air force soldiers) bring together writings from national and international authors and depict real life stories of the President as well as his revolutionary cause.

There are also books on outstanding revolutionaries, such as Nguyen Luong Bang, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai and Colonel Le Anh Duc.

Books on the history of the country’s foreign relations (1940-2010; 1945-2000) highlighted milestones, historic events, the development of Vietnam’s diplomatic relations and its significant role in today’s international integration and development.

The publisher said the books are precious materials on the country’s history, fostering a more profound understanding of the country’s revolution and President Ho as well as promoting patriotism among young generations.-VNA
