NGUYỄN THIÊN THỤ
Foreword
Ho
Chi Minh was an important person in Vietnamese history. Many scholars
have studied his life and works, and expressed their different ideas
about him. Some scholars praised while others criticized. I also have my
opinion.
After finished my "Documents of HochiMinh" consisted of 154 articles, I begin to write a book entitled "HO CHI MINH MYTHS AND MASKS" to present my ideas to the readers.
It is very difficult to study Vietnamese contemporain history. Communists never tell the truth, they always enlarge the picture of their party and their leader. The communist strategy is to tell lie because Lenin taught his followers: " A lie told often enough becomes the truth". Many years have passed, many communist works have published, and a number of people became blind.
Communists made the myths and brought the masks on the stage of history. If a scholar believes in the communist cadres, his work would become the garbage.
This book is a synthesis of the scholars ' research and my political experiences in Vietnam. It is story of truth because I love Keats's poetry, I love truth - "Beauty is truth, truth beauty".
I hope this book can lead you to a new horizon.
