Phu Rieng was one of many French rubber plantations in colonial
Vietnam; Tran Tu Binh was one of 17,606 laborers brought to work
there in 1927, and his memoir is a straightforward, emotionally
searing account of how one Vietnamese youth became involved in
revolutionary politics. 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.
"The Red Earth" is the first of dozens of such works by veterans of
the 1924-45 struggle in Vietnam to be published in English
translation. It is important reading for all those interested in
the many-faceted history of modern Vietnam and of communism in the
non-Western world.
