THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNIST MOVEMENT IS DEEPLY AFFECTED BY ITS own history, brief as this has been (it was only founded in 1930).

9 This article was written in June 1968, before the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. Vietnamese approval of this invasion confirms, it seems, the points made above, and has much deeper roots than a mere concern for arms supplies.
