This is the result of a translation project intoItalian language from the original Vietnamese version of the same name bySandra Scagliotti, a researcher on Vietnam, and Tran Doan Trang, an overseasVietnamese in Italy.
Previously, in May 2020, the Su That (Truth) NationalPolitical Publishing House published the original Vietnamese version by Dr.Nguyen Anh Minh, who collected and selected President Ho Chi Minh's letterswritten from 1945 to 1969 during the resistance wars against French colonialistsand American imperialists.
The letters were sent by the Vietnamese revolutionary leaderto the Presidents of France and the US as well as many politicians, soldiers,prisoners, immigrants, young people, and relatives of soldiers. In thoseletters, Ho Chi Minh expressed his wish for peace and happiness for allnations, laid bare and condemned war crimes caused by French colonialists and Americanimperialists, and called on people around the world to support the juststruggle of the Vietnamese people.
Sandra Scagliotti said the messages in President Ho ChiMinh's letters left a deep impression on many generations of young people inEurope in the 60s and 70s of the last century.
According to her, for Italians who support peace andprogress, Vietnam has been truly an example of the nations in the struggleagainst domination and oppression in the world./.
