Ho Chi Minh

I was recently in a High School in a suburb which is heavily populated with Australian people of Vietnamese ancestry..

While waiting for the librarian to attend to me, I checked out the catalogue. I spotted two books on warfare in Vietnam and nothing on Ho Chi Minh. The same school did not purchase this book. I was disappointed, especially as I remembered the enthusiasm for the content shown by James Nguyen and Paul Quach, illustrators.

How good is Paul's pencil drawing of Ho on the front cover? If you look closely, you can see that every hair is a pencil line.
