General Vo Nguyen Giap's book "Dien Bien Phu" is being published for Arab readers.

As part of diplomatic activities and cultural-academic exchanges between Vietnam and countries in the Arab region, the National Political Publishing House is reprinting the Vietnamese version of General Vo Nguyen Giap's book "Dien Bien Phu," originally published by Light Books, and simultaneously releasing an Arabic version.

The book, recently launched in Algeria, marks a new milestone for the Vietnamese publishing industry on its journey to spread the nation's historical values ​​to the world .

The book "Dien Bien Phu," reprinted in Vietnamese by the National Political Publishing House and published by Light Books, which also released an Arabic version, is one of the most valuable original historical sources in the treasury of books on Vietnamese military history.

This work compiles articles, analyses, and memoirs by General Vo Nguyen Giap about the entire process of strategic direction, force organization, and the developments of the three offensives of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign in 1954.

Building upon the foundation of nine years of protracted resistance, self-reliance, and relying primarily on our own strength, the book authentically portrays the courage, intelligence, and unwavering determination of our army and people, leading to a resounding victory that "shook the world and resonated across five continents."

Through multiple editions, especially the 2024 and 2025 releases, the book has been revised and supplemented with important materials to ensure the integrity of the historical records left by the General.

The translation of the book Dien Bien Phu into Arabic was undertaken by a team of translators who are lecturers from the Department of Arabic Language and Culture, Faculty of Foreign Languages ​​- Vietnam National University, Hanoi, in collaboration with the National Political Publishing House.

This is an important step in introducing Vietnamese history to international friends, especially the Arab community, which has friendly relations and multifaceted cooperation with Vietnam.

This book not only helps regional readers access one of the most iconic military victories of the 20th century but also opens up opportunities for extensive research and academic exchange on Vietnam's national liberation war, military art, and peace-loving spirit.

With its domestic reprinting, Arabic translation, and widespread introduction, General Vo Nguyen Giap's book "Dien Bien Phu" continues to affirm its timeless value, becoming a bridge bringing Vietnamese history closer to readers around the world.

The National Political Publishing House hopes that through this work, it will contribute to deepening the understanding of international friends about a resilient, creative, and humane Vietnam; and at the same time continue to inspire the spirit of great unity, self-reliance, and patriotism in the journey of building and developing the country today.
