  • Ho-Chi-Minh Beloved Leade~ of the Vietnamese People
    TRU'O'NG - CHI~H PRESIDENT HO-CHI-MINH BELOVED LEADE~ OF THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE FOREIGi J LANGUAGES PUBLISHIKG HOUSE HA.'OI 1966 PRESIDENT 'A , HO-CHI-MINH BELOVED LEADER OF THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE TRU'O'NG - CHINH PRESIDENT 'A , O-CHI-MIN BELOVED LEADER OF THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE FOREIGN LAKGUAGES PUBLISHING HOUSE HANOI - 1966 President H(} - CHi - MINH FOREWORD Insurrections followed each other, men died as heroes, but the colonial regime remained unshaken, apparently un­ shakable. Our scholars in the name of the King and of Con­ ficius, led the peasants to battle, but they fought with out­ of-date arms and ideas of past ages. Against the foreign imperialists' modern weapons and Machiavellian schemes, this was derisory. Even more so were the attempts by our urban bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie to tail after Western capitalism. Such was the state of Vietnam before I930. A whole nation, proud of its centuries-old history, fought heroically, but for many decades, every insurrection was doomed to failure. The road to independence seemed blocked, a wall rose, unshakable, impregnable, obstructing the path of the future. Eyes turned towards the two elder nations of Asia: China and India. But in spite of immense efforts, at the time these two great countries either remained under subjection or sank into anarchy. In the dark night, a light flashed, a voice resounded. Imperialism, it said, is powerful but ridden with contradic­ tions, OUr weakness only stems from OUr inability to mobilize the main forces of the nation, the masses of thz people, from au/' inability to define an adequate overall political line, ap­ propriate strategy and tactics, suitable forms of organization We lacked an ideology that made it possible for us to mo­ bilize and organize the people, and showed us the road of human progress.

Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación, Informe Final, 2003 On the morning of July 7, 2005, under a cloudy winter sky, hundreds of people stood in the main square of the city of Trujillo in Northern Peru for a commemoration. 1 Speeches were given, a band played, 1 I would like to thank Samuel Brunk, Ken Hammond, Dwight Pitcaithley and particularly Andrea Orzoff, as well as the anonymous readers, for their helpful comments. I also thank my colleagues in the “Publish and Flourish Workshop” of the New Mexico State University Teaching Academy for their comments on early drafts of this article, and Tito Aguero for his comments on a lecture based on material in this article. García-Bryce 278 and for hours, a long parade of government bureaucrats, civic associations and school children marched past the official bandstand carrying colorful banners. 2 The peaceful setting stood in stark contrast to the violent nature of the events being commemorated: on July 7, 1932 a group of rebels connected to the recently founded Peruvian Aprista Party had taken over the city of Trujillo in an attempt to spark a national revolution. 3 The government had mobilized army, navy and air force against the uprising and taken back the city after 3 days of intense fighting.
