Book Description

It was the trial of a century in colonial Hong Kong when, in 1931–33, Ho Chi Minh - the future President of Vietnam - faced down deportation to French-controlled territory with a death sentence dangling over him. Thanks to his appeal to English common law, Ho Chi Minh won his reprieve. With extradition a major political issue in Hong Kong today, Geoffrey C. Gunn's examination of the legal case of Ho Chi Minh offers a timely insight into the rule of law and the issue of extradition in the former British colony. Utilizing little known archival material, Gunn sheds new light on Ho Chi Minh, communist and anti-colonial networks and Franco–British relations.

Book Description

"When Ho Chi Minh died in 1969 Time magazine wrote: "No national leader has stood so stubbornly or so long before the enemy's guns." Ho was a man who understood how to compromise without losing sight of his goal, but he will perhaps be best remembered as the leader who attempted to humanize Marxism. And yet although the name of the first President of Vietnam is known throughout the world, the figure behind the Presidency has remained in the shadow; until now there has been very little biographical material available in this country." --Page [2] of cover.
