Lt. Colonel Jay R. Jensen's "Six Years in Hell"

     Ho Chi Minh was soon known by many people from Indochina as their main spokesman. They were amazed by a person who was not afraid to laugh at the French, yet stood up for the people of Indochina. Many people thought that Ho Chi Minh was no more then a legend. When Sun Yat-sen, leader of China's nationalist army, died in 1925, Chiang Kai-shek of Moscow was put in charge with military strategist Mikhail Borodin. Chiang chose Ho to be Borodin's advisor and interpreter. Ho took this position, but began to secretly plan Indochina's first communist organization, set in Canton(Dudley 45). Most of Ho's followers were young Annamese rebels who were sick of being in the Vietnamese Nationalist party and their leader, Pham Boi Chau. The group set up Chau by hurling a bomb at the governor of Indochina's car. Chau disappeared after this. Ho was soon accused of taking a bribe from the French, in exchange for revealing Chau's whereabouts. Chau was said to be executed, but really died naturally while in jail. Pointing this out got Ho out of trouble for a while. Once Ho's Communist party got going, he set up a training camp for guerrilla techniques. It was called the Whampoa Military Academy. At the academy, the followers were trained

Most notably Columbus upon landing on islands in the Caribbean, he named each for instance, San Salvador, Santa Maria and, Fernandina were all islands Christopher Columbus named although they already had names and didn’t belong to him nor the Spanish monarchy. These actions proved themselves dangerous to the Natives a few years after Columbus’ arrival, as they were forced into slavery, “Those left behind were forced to search for gold in mines and work on plantations…” (History.com). Slavery and other mistreatments being allowed in the islands by Columbus is yet another example of illusion of power, he holds no real authority but is running the islands as if they’re his.

During the 1970’s, the Viet Cong, a communist-led party that was under the control of North Vietnam, was taking over South Vietnam. Due to people’s fear of living under the communist party, many people felt it was unsafe to continue to live there. It caused a large number of Vietnamese people to plan an escape from their home country and to migrate to neighboring countries, like the Philippines. Other countries like the United States of America and Canada accepted some Vietnamese people as refugees. The Vietnamese that had escaped were termed as “Vietnamese boat people” due to their escape being made by fishing boats that were not made to survive in the ocean. Lac Su and Trieu Tran were known as

Undeniably, the book Redemption at Hacksaw Ridge by Booton Herndon is an interesting yet enlightening read which follows Desmond Doss' heroic actions during World War 2. This book is a biography of Desmond Doss who always wished to become a medic, but never received much education as a child. When Doss was one step closer to his dream, he was outcasted and tolerated torture from other soldiers who refused to accept that he is a conscientious objector. The setting of this book first takes place in Virginia, where Doss was born, but the majority of the book takes place at a steep, jagged cliff called the Hacksaw Ridge.

The leader of this communist introduction and development in Vietnam was Ho Chi Minh. Ho Chi Minh, born Nguyen Tat Thanh, grew up with a passion for freeing his country of the French. Ho Chi Minh worked hard on his French when his tutor told him, “If you want to defeat the French, you must understand them. To understand the French you must study the French language.” Ho Chi Minh’s patriotism developed mainly from his Chinese-language instructor, Hoang Thong, who was anti- French himself. Thong believed that losing one’s family was worse than losing one’s country. Ho Chi Minh’s first involvement against political action came on May 9, 1908 when he joined a peasant uprising as a translator. Attempting to translate in the front of the crowd, he was beaten and forced to hide at his friend’s house at night to prevent being arrested. In the following years, Ho Chi Minh yearned to go overseas; he said to journalist Anna Louise Strong, “The people of Vietnam, including my own father, often wondered who would help them to remove them the yoke of French control…I saw that I must go abroad to see for myself. After I had found out how they lived, I

He returned to Vietnam in 1944 and between then and 1945 he helped organize resistance to the Japanese occupation forces. When the Japanese surrendered to the in August 1945, the Japanese decided to allow nationalist groups to take over public buildings while keeping the French in prison as a way of causing additional trouble to the Allies in the postwar period. The Viet Minh and other groups took over various towns and formed a provisional government in which he was named Minister of the Interior. this point in time, it appears to me that the communist leadership of Vietnam is now in
