Ho Chi Minh: The Missing Years 1919 - 1941 by Quinn-Judge, Sophie. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780520235335.

This book explores Hos pre-power political career, from his emergence at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 to his organization of the Viet Minh united front at the start of the Second World War. Using previously untapped sources from Comintern and French intelligence archives, Sophie Quinn-Judge examines Hos life in the light of two interconnecting themes--the origins and institutional development of the Indochinese Communist Party, and the impact on early Vietnamese communism of political developments in China and the Soviet Union.
