The book, including "Collection about General Nguyen Chi Thanh" and "General Nguyen Chi Thanh - An excellent politician and great military soldier in the Ho Chi Minh Era", is a meaningful gift for his family to celebrate his birthday (January 1st, 1914), as well as the 70th founding anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army and the 25th anniversary of the All-People's Defense Festive Day.
The book includes published articles, organized into five main parts, about General Thanh's life and career.
At the ceremony, General Nghia said that the book is a valuable documentary, which reviewed the late general's life and the nation's glorious history in the resistance wars against American and French invaders.
On behalf of the late general's family, Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Chi Vinh, General Thanh's son, thanked the General Department of Politics for their sentiment, and said that his family would continue to bring into play the family's tradition and the late general's revolutionary career.
