Bui Tin, Following Ho Chi Minh: The Memoirs of a North Vietnamese Colonel. Introduction by Carlyle Thayer. Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 1995. xx, 202 pp. The copyright page gives the impression this is simply a translation of Hoa Xuyen Tuyet. The title page says it has been translated "and adapted" by Judy Stowe and Do Van. It has in fact been so massively adapted as to be a quite different book. Part memoir, part analysis of the defects of the Vietnamese Communist system, with considerable detail about individual leaders. Difficult to read, but very much worth the trouble.
Bui Tin, 1945-1999: Vietnam, la face cachée du régime. Paris: Kergour, 1999. 303 pp. A slightly modified French translation of Following Ho Chi Minh. Most of the changes are in the last pages, where events from 1994 to 1999 have been added. But there have been sporadic alterations elsewhere. For example, on p. 133 of Following Ho Chi Minh there was a very interesting account of Le Duan's intervention in the naval chain of command in an incident in the Gulf of Tonkin, but no exact date was specified, and while it seemed likely that Bui Tin was referring to the incident of August 2, 1964, this was not certain. In the corresponding passage (p. 218) of the French language version, a precise date is given, August 5, 1964, which is clearly an error--no incident even resembling this occurred on that date. I think there is a possibility that elements of two different incidents may have been mixed together here, one of which was on August 2, 1964, and the other on July 1, 1966.

Wilfred Burchett: Books written by Vietnamese Communists are often pretty hard for Americans to read. One of the best ways to get around this difficulty is to read the books by the Australian writer Wilfred Burchett. He travelled widely in the Communist-ruled sections of Vietnam during the war, he wrote well, and for a Communist propagandist he was unusually honest. His relevant books include:
Mekong Upstream: A Visit to Laos and Cambodia. Berlin: Seven Seas Publishers, 1959. 289 pp.
The Furtive War: The United States in Vietnam and Laos. New York: International Publishers, 1963. 224 pp.

At the Barricades: Forty Years on the Cutting Edge of History. New York: Times Books, 1981. x, 341 pp. This is a radically abridged version of Burchett's original manuscript; the next item represents a much more complete version.

There are also books about Burchett by other authors; I believe most of these are hostile to him:

Dang Thuy Tram, Last Night I Dreamed of Peace: The Diary of Dang Thuy Tram. New York: Harmony Books, 2007. xxiii, 225 pp. Translated by Andrew X. Pham; Introduction by Frances Fitzgerald. Tram, a doctor sent south from Hanoi to work in a hospital in Quang Ngai, was killed by US troops 6/22/70. Her diary, captured by the US troops, covering 1968-70, ended up in the Vietnam Archive at Texas Tech University. A copy was eventually sent to Hanoi, where it was published as Nhat ky Dang Thuy Tram (Hanoi: Nha Xuat Ban Hoi Nha Van, 2005) and attracted a lot of attention. There was a forum on this book in the Journal of Vietnamese Studies, vol. 3 no. 2 (Summer 2008), pp. 172-221. The essay I found most interesting was Vuong Tri Nhan, "The Diary of Dang Thuy Tram and the Postwar Vietnamese Mentality" (pp. 180-195).
Declaration of the First Congress of the South Viet Nam National Front for Liberation. Hanoi: Foreign Languages Publishing House, June 1962. 36 pp. Declaration dated March 3, 1962. The text has been placed on-line in the Virtual Vietnam Archive of the Vietnam Project, at Texas Tech University.

Hanoi: NXB Quan Doi Nhan Dan, 1988. 253 pp. Dinh Thi Van was trained as an intelligence agent and sent south probably in the mid 1950s. She was arrested once by RVN authorities, but managed to talk her way out. The main focus of the book is on the period up to 1968, although I believe she continued working as an agent until 1975.

On the Problem of War and Peace. Hanoi: Foreign Languages Publishing House, 1964. A collection of four long articles published in major Hanoi journals in late 1963 and early 1964. No authors are given in this collection, even for articles that had been signed in the original publications. Thus no author is given here for "Some Viewpoints on War and Peace" (pp. 61-93). When this had been published in Hoc Tap, 1964, no. 1, pp. 28-40, the author had been listed as Hong Chuong (probably a pseudonym for some senior leader). "Man and Weapons" (pp. 95-118), originally published in Hoc Tap, 1963, no. 9, is interesting; it argues that the human factor is more important than weapons in warfare, and that the proletarian army of the DRV will inevitably defeat reactionary armies. The text has been placed on-line in the Virtual Vietnam Archive of the Vietnam Project, at Texas Tech University, in two parts: pp. 1-77, pp. 78-135.

They Work and Fight. Hanoi: Viet Nam Federation of Trade Unions, 1972. 66 pp. Presumably a bit fictionalized. The first of the six chapters is about the personnel struggling to keep the Thanh Hoa Bridge ("May 19 Bridge") functioning in the face of American air attacks. The last is the story of Tran Van Thai, a worker on a state farm in the highlands. On September 20, 1965, he helped to shoot down an American helicopter and capture three of its personnel. From the date, it can be determined that this was an HH-43B Huskie rescue helicopter piloted by USAF Capt. Thomas J. Curtis, who was indeed captured along with two of his crewmen. The location was near the Laotian border, southwest of Ha Tinh.

Vietnam: The Anti-U.S. Resistance War for National Salvation, 1954-1975:
Military Events. The original was published by the People's Army Publishing
House, Hanoi, 1980. The English translation by JPRS and/or FBIS was published
in June 1982; it is available from the National Technical Information Service
as JPRS 80968. 183 pp. This is, in effect, a PAVN official history of the war.
While significantly biased, it is far more candid than Hanoi publications
during the war; fairly detailed discussion of the infiltration of men and
equipment from north to south during the war was especially striking at
the time this was first published. The main problem is the lack of serious
analysis, and the episodic nature of the narrative. The text has been placed on-line in
the Virtual Vietnam
Archive of the Vietnam Project, at Texas Tech University, in four parts:
pp. 1-48,
pp. 49-98,

The "Assault Youth" (thanh nien xung phong) were a category of Communist personnel working in the transportation system in North Vietnam, in South Vietnam, and along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Many of them (70% or more in some units) were female. They have been largely ignored in the literature of the Vietnam War, but François Guillemot has written about them.
