Many books were released to readers to celebrate the 50th anniversary of national reunification.

On the occasion of Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day (April 21), towards the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025), publishing units introduced many new books on the topics of history, war, and revolutionary heroes.

The National Political Publishing House, Truth, has just released the book “ Ho Chi Minh City - Zero Hour - Reports on the end of the 30-year war.”

The work gathers reports from many Western journalists - who were directly present in Vietnam during the historic days. The journalists witnessed the liberation troops marching into the South, carrying with them the steadfast spirit of "the Vietnamese people are one" and the belief in certain victory; witnessed the chaotic scenes of the evacuation organized by the US, when helicopters followed each other to leave Saigon... After only one week, they saw a different Saigon - calm, orderly and full of symbols of a new era.
