VOICED: Dissident writer claims to reveal the true story of Ho Chi Minh

The transcript discusses a new book that claims Ho Chi Minh's true story has been suppressed. It alleges that Ho Chi Minh had an affair with a much younger woman, resulting in two children, and that this affair was erased from history to preserve his image. The book suggests the woman was assassinated by the party to cover up the affair. Ho Chi Minh is said to have chosen to die on a symbolic day as an act of defiance. The author of the book, a critic of Vietnam's regime, aims to reveal this hidden history to the Vietnamese people, though the book is banned in Vietnam.
