The connection between this early experience and later activities of the author becomes clear as we learn that Tran Tu Binh survived imprisonment on Con Son island to help engineer the general uprising in Hanoi in 1945.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Red Earth\u003c\/i\u003e is the first of dozens of such works by veterans of the 1924-45 struggle in Vietnam to be published in English translation.
