The Father of Modern Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh ~ Alexander Articles

So much western media tells tales of the Vietnam War from the eyes of American troops. Few consider the decades and centuries of colonialism, radicalism, scheming, and revolt that led to such a cataclysm. Much of this history revolves around the personality of one dynamic man who forged a nation anew from the ashes of empires: Ho Chi Minh, the father of modern Vietnam. From the meeting halls of Paris, to the war torn cities of China, back to the jungles of Annam, listen to Derek tell Tim all about the life and times of one of the most impressive and misunderstood leaders of the 20th century.

Rules:

1. Every time our main character does some traveling - sip 2. every time communists do something bad to other communists - 3 sips 3. every time a western power loses spectacularly - shot
