The work Stories of General Nguyen Chi Thanh (edited by the late Senior Lieutenant General - Professor, Dr. Nguyen Chi Vinh) is a collection of emotional pages about the talented General Nguyen Chi Thanh. Through stories told by comrades, witnesses and those who were close to him, the book recreates a man who was both great in his achievements and close in everyday life. Each story in the book is like a small slice but rich in evocative power, honoring the personality, leadership example and love for the people and soldiers of an exemplary General.

The memoir Journey for Peace by the late Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Chi Vinh is the perspective of an insider. He recounts the arduous journey of the Vietnamese "blue beret" peacekeeping force - from the first exploration steps to the challenging missions in Africa. These are genuine memories, reflecting the process of the Vietnam People's Army participating in the UN peacekeeping force. Each story helps readers understand the silent sacrifice and borderless solidarity of the Vietnamese "blue beret" soldiers, along with the tireless efforts of the entire army to realize the strategy of protecting the Fatherland early and from afar. Through the book, the author also conveys his belief and responsibility for peace and inspires everyone, especially the youth and young people in the army. This is also the "brainchild" that Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Chi Vinh has cherished for a long time, just completed before his death, becoming a cultural and historical milestone in the field of Vietnam's defense diplomacy.

Letters from North to South is a collection of 73 letters written by General Nguyen Chi Thanh and his family over nearly 20 years (from 1948 to 1967), from the resistance war against the French to the fierce years of the anti-American war. Most of them are letters he sent to his wife, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Cuc, mixed with a few letters to his children and reply letters. The letters are written in a concise, simple style, full of emotion, vividly recreating the life, society and family affection of General Nguyen Chi Thanh during the resistance war years, both historical and rich in humanity. The content of the letters also mentions many high-ranking officers of the Vietnam People's Army - those who have made a strong mark in the history of the nation. In particular, the book is accompanied by pictures of some letters and photos of the General with his relatives, contributing to making the work more intimate and vivid.

The book reflects the history of the country during the war, through the fate of a specific person, with different approaches, and moreover, with the emotions of real joys and sorrows. The book cover uses the image of General Nguyen Chi Thanh sketched with simple pencil lines, in black and white tones to create a nostalgic feeling, highlighting the portrait of the general with a kind smile and a life motto full of love - an ideal model for a noble lifestyle in the Ho Chi Minh era.
