My late grandfather, the General Thê

Aug 27, 2006 12:21

Trinh Minh Thê was a general. He founded and was leader of a group of 3000~4000 south vietnamese patriots. They built an army base at a mountain to defend against the communism (north vietnam) and against the french. But sadly, at age 33, he was assassinated on May 3rd 1955. He died so young... and he was an handsome man too.

To learn more about him, you can read the historical e-book titled "Honest Mistakes: The Life and Death of Trinh Minh Thê" written by Sergei Blagov.
