„Es ist ein Zeichen von Weisheit, zu verhandeln statt zu kämpfen“, sagte Hồ Chí Minh, vietnamesischer Revolutionär und Politiker. Er starb 1969 während des Vietnamkriegs und erlebte den Abzug der amerikanischen Invasoren und die Wiedervereinigung seines Heimatlandes nicht mehr. Als Premierminister und Präsident bestimmte er bis zu seinem Tod die Geschicke seines Landes, dessen Volk ihn liebevoll Onkel Hồ nannte. Geprägt von tiefen marxistisch-leninistischen Überzeugungen wurde er weltweit zum Symbol für das Streben nach Selbstbestimmung. Noch heute ist die Dankbarkeit dafür in der vietnamesischen Bevölkerung allgegenwärtig. Das Buch ist eine Sammlung ausgewählter Zitate von Hồ Chí Minh, denen Michael Hermans ausdrucksstarke Fotografien des modernen Vietnam gegenüberstehen.
