The National Political Publishing House has published a new book recounting the establishment and development of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) over the past 80 years.

The three-part book contains articles by a number of Party and State leaders and experts from various fields, depicting the growth and great achievement of the Party since its foundation on February 3, 1930.

The first section introduces the birth of the CPV and its leadership and its subsequent role in the national democratic people’s revolution. It includes 20 articles that highlight the revolutionary theory and creative thought of President Ho Chi Minh, the strategic adjustment in leadership for the 1936-1939 democratic movement, the Party’s lines in the resistance war against the French colonialists, and the Party’s lines regarding peasants and land for them. This section also addresses the Party’s policies on economic, military and diplomatic affairs in the wars of resistance against the French and US occupation.

The second section deals with the Party’s role in leading the socialist revolution and the processes of renovation (doi moi) and integration. The 52 articles in this part focus on theoretical issues and practices in reforms, construction of a law-governed state, the socialist democracy and the opportunities and challenges faced by the current Vietnamese revolution. This part also mentions a series of issues such as Party building, cadres, communication and education, party members’ ethics, the knowledge economy, security and defence, and policies on ethnic groups and religions.

The final section, which comprises 12 articles, outlines the relation between the CPV and the world’s revolutionary movements, especially those in China, the former Soviet Union, Laos, Cambodia and Cuba. It also introduces the CPV’s contributions to Marxism-Leninism and the international communist and workers movements.

The National Political Publishing House has recently put out several other books on the CPV’s leadership skills.
