The Military Art of People’s War: Selected Writings of General Vo Nguyen Giap

This collection includes the major writings of General Giap, who, on the evidence of his record as well as his theoretical work, has long been recognized as one of the military geniuses of modern times, and, along with Mao Tse-tung, the greatest modern practitioner and theorist of the art of people's warfare. It includes writings from the 1940's to the end of the 1960's, and thus constitutes the most complete selection yet published. Most of the material included has never before been available in English. It is presented here with a valuable historical introduction by Russell Stetler.
