Books about President Ho Chi Minh spread patriotism and aspirations for Viet Nam

Marking the 136th birth anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh (May 19, 1890–May 19, 2026), the Su That (Truth) National Political Publishing House has introduced to readers a wide range of notable publications on his life, career, ideology, morality, and lifestyle.

Among them, the newly refreshed edition of History of Our Country stands out with vivid illustrations and highly interactive features, helping bring national history closer to today’s younger generation. The illustration system allows children to colour pictures while reading, enabling history not only to be read but also to be “touched” through imagination and creativity. Heroic figures, glorious battles, and sacred milestones of the nation are vividly portrayed through each colour shade, helping inspire children’s love for history while strengthening intergenerational connections within families.

On this occasion, the Truth National Political Publishing House also continues to introduce readers to numerous research works, memoirs, collections of documents, and outstanding literary works about President Ho Chi Minh published over the years. Each book offers a different perspective, helping readers gain deeper understanding of his life, ideology, and noble character.

In the field of theoretical research, books such as Ho Chi Minh’s Ideology, Morality, Lifestyle and Methodology — A Torch Lighting the Way for the Vietnamese Revolution, Contributions to the Study of President Ho Chi Minh’s Ideology on Independence and Freedom, Ho Chi Minh on Cadres and Cadre Work, and Ho Chi Minh’s Thought on the People’s Role in Maintaining Order and Security continue to affirm the enduring value of Ho Chi Minh Thought in the current cause of national construction and defence.

In literature and memoirs, many emotionally rich works continue to portray Uncle Ho as both close and ordinary, yet immensely great. Golden Lotus by writer Son Tung takes readers back to the turbulent but resilient childhood of young Nguyen Sinh Con, while The Heart and the Earth recreates the image of Uncle Ho during the 1950 Border Campaign with his simple lifestyle, wisdom, and profound compassion for people.

Reading books about President Ho Chi Minh is not only an opportunity to revisit history, but also a precious moment for reflection on morality, ideals, and each person’s responsibility toward the nation.

These books open journeys for readers to approach Ho Chi Minh’s legacy through valuable documents and artefacts. Among them, Five National Treasures introduces the full texts of works such as The Revolutionary Path, Diary in Prison, Appeal for National Resistance, and Testament — invaluable ideological legacies of the Vietnamese nation.

At the same time, other works continue enriching the valuable archive on President Ho Chi Minh, helping readers approach his portrait, life, and career from multiple perspectives: as a thinker, cultural figure, leader, revolutionary soldier, and a deeply compassionate human being.

Each book tells its story in a different way, but all share one common point: spreading patriotism, the spirit of national solidarity, and the profound humanistic values that President Ho Chi Minh left to the Vietnamese nation.
