After graduation from Moscow in 1925, Ho embarked upon a slithering, 15-year journey through the Communist underground of the world. He would appear shaven-headed in Thailand, disguised as a Buddhist monk; he would show up in the Latin Quarter of Paris, explaining to waiters how to prepare his food. In Canton, Ho worked for Borodin, the Russian intriguer who helped undermine China. In Singapore, Ho organized Southeast Asia's Comintern. And when IndoChina's Nationalist Party rebelled against the French in 1930, Ho Chi Minh played it coldly; although he was constantly posing as a Nationalist...

...complex, contradictory personality he undertook to commit to paper and one that would later appear in various guises in his masterpieces The Red and the Black, The Charterhouse of Parma and Lucien Leuwen. The cold analyst ("Outside geometry, there's but a single manner of reasoning, that of facts") was balanced by the man of passionate emotions ("I had possibly the most violent burst of passion I've ever experienced . . . The passion . . . was ambition ... I felt myself capable of the greatest crimes and infamies"). The would-be cynic ("I've got to attack every woman I meet...
