    Description

    It was the trial of a century in colonial Hong Kong when, in 1931–33, Ho Chi Minh - the future President of Vietnam - faced down deportation to French-controlled territory with a death sentence dangling over him. Thanks to his appeal to English common law, Ho Chi Minh won his reprieve. With extradition a major political issue in Hong Kong today, Geoffrey C. Gunn's examination of the legal case of Ho Chi Minh offers a timely insight into the rule of law and the issue of extradition in the former British colony. Utilizing little known archival material, Gunn sheds new light on Ho Chi Minh, communist and anti-colonial networks and Franco–British relations.

    • Uncovers details regarding Ho Chi Minh's arrest, incarceration and successful legal defense in Hong Kong
    • Explores the rule of law and the issue of extradition in Hong Kong
    • Examines communist and anti-colonial networks across East and Southeast Asia
