The General deserved to win the Ho Chi Minh Prize for History.

Not only a history maker, General Vo Nguyen Giap is also known as a history teacher and a historian. He has written many works such as: From the people; Unforgettable years; Fighting in the siege.... Historian Duong Trung Quoc believes that General Vo Nguyen Giap deserves to receive the Ho Chi Minh award in the field of history and military theory.

General Vo Nguyen Giap was also a historian.

He said: “First of all, General Vo Nguyen Giap is a historical figure, a subject of research by historians. In particular, at the time of his death, not only the people in the country, experts but also the international community evaluated him. That shows his great role in contributing to the change of modern Vietnamese history in particular and of human history in general in the 20th century.

As for us, there is a pride that: it seems that one of the things that created his character had the element of a history teacher. It was historical knowledge that nurtured the will of a generation of Vietnamese youth during the period when the country was a colony of the French colonialists.

He often told us that when he was young, as students in Hanoi, many people often passed through the North Gate citadel. When they saw the bullet holes of the French colonialists shooting at the citadel gate, which the French kept to show their strength, the patriotic Vietnamese saw there the humiliation of losing their country.

Moreover, after a long journey dedicated to the Vietnamese revolutionary cause, in the last 20 years of the General's life, he had the opportunity to spend time summarizing history, summarizing the revolution in which he participated, especially his memoirs. The memoirs center on the people, on President Ho Chi Minh. It can be said that they are real historical works, so when we say that he is completely worthy of the Ho Chi Minh Prize for historical works, it is a very convincing truth.
