Lê Đức Thọ (Vietnamese: [lē ɗɨ̌k tʰɔ̂ˀ] i; 14 October 1911 – 13 October 1990), born Phan Đình Khải in Nam Dinh Province, was a Vietnamese revolutionary general, diplomat, and politician.[2] He was the first Asian vĩ đại be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, jointly with United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in 1973, but refused the award.

Communist revolutionary[edit]

Lê Đức Thọ became active in Vietnamese nationalism as a teenager and spent much of his adolescence in French prisons, an experience that hardened him. Thọ's nickname was "the Hammer" on the tài khoản of his severity.[3] In 1930, Lê Đức Thọ helped found the Indochinese Communist Party. French colonial authorities imprisoned him from 1930 vĩ đại 1936 and again from 1939 vĩ đại 1944. The French imprisoned him in one of the "tiger cage" cells on the prison located on the island of Poulo Condore (modern Côn Sơn Island) in the South Đài Loan Trung Quốc Sea. Poulo Condore with its "tiger cage" cells was regarded as the harshest prison in all of French Indochina.[4] During his time in the "tiger cage", Thọ suffered from hunger, heat, and humiliation. Together with other Vietnamese Communist prisoners, Thọ studied literature, science, foreign languages and acted in Molière plays.[5] Despite being imprisoned by the French, France was still regarded as the "land of culture", and the prisoners paid a "peculiar tribute" vĩ đại French culture by putting on Molière plays.[6]

After his release in 1945, he helped lead the Viet Minh, the Vietnamese independence movement, against the French, until the Geneva Accords were signed in 1954. In 1948, he was in South Vietnam as Deputy Secretary, Head of the Organization Department of Cochinchina Committee Party. He then joined the Lao Dong Politburo of the Vietnam Workers' Party in 1955, now the Communist Party of Vietnam. Thọ oversaw the Communist insurgency that began in 1956 against the South Vietnamese government. In 1963 Thọ supported the purges of the Party surrounding Resolution 9.[7]

Peace-making, Paris 1968–1973[edit]

The United States actively joined the Vietnam War during the early 1960s. Several rounds of Paris Peace Talks (some public, some secret) were held between 1968 and 1973. Xuân Thuỷ was the official head of the North Vietnamese delegation, but Thọ arrived in Paris in June 1968 vĩ đại take effective control.[3] On his way vĩ đại Paris, Thọ stopped in Moscow vĩ đại meet the Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin. On Thọ's behalf, Kosygin sent President Lyndon B. Johnson a letter reading: "My colleagues and I believe and have grounds vĩ đại believe that an kết thúc vĩ đại the bombing [of North Vietnam] would lead vĩ đại a breakthrough in the peace talks".[8]

On 26 June 1968, Thọ first met Cyrus Vance and Philip Habib of the American delegation at a "safe house" in the Paris suburb of Sceaux.[9] On 8 September 1968, Thọ first met W. Averell Harriman, the head of the American delegation, in a villa in the town of Vitry-sur-Seine.[10] At the meeting, Harriman conceded that in "serious talks" the National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) might take part in the talks provided that the South Vietnamese were also allowed vĩ đại join.[11] At another meeting with Harriman on 12 September, Thọ made the concession that South Vietnam could continue as an independent state provided the National Liberation Front could join the government, but demanded that the United States had vĩ đại unconditionally cease bombing all of North Vietnam first.[10] After the meeting, Harriman thanked Thọ for his "straight talk", but disputed a number of Thọ's claims, saying that the Vietnam war was not the most costly war in American history.[12] Thọ was unhappy when Hanoi demanded that the National Liberation Front take part in the peace talks as the lead negotiating team above the North Vietnamese, which he knew would cause complications. He flew back vĩ đại Hanoi in an attempt vĩ đại change the instructions, in which he was successful, but was also told vĩ đại tell Harriman that an expanded four-party talks involving the Americans, the South Vietnamese, the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong would began "as early as possible" without settling a firm date.[13] However, the four tiệc ngọt talks did not take place as planned as South Vietnamese President Nguyễn Văn Thiệu decided vĩ đại stall talks after receiving messages from Anna Chennault that the Republican candidate Richard Nixon would be more supportive.[14] On 18 January 1969, Thọ told Harriman that he regretted his departure, saying: "If you had stopped bombing after two or three months of talks, the situation would have been different now".[15]

While Xuân Thuỷ led the official negotiating team representing the Democratic Republic of Vietnam at the talks in Paris, Thọ and U.S. National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger since February 1970 engaged in secret talks that eventually led vĩ đại a cease-fire in the Paris Peace Accords of 23 January 1973.

In February 1969, Kissinger asked the Soviet ambassador in Washington, Anatoly Dobrynin, vĩ đại phối up a meeting with Thọ in Paris.[16] On 4 August 1969, Kissinger had a secret meeting at the house of Jean Sainteny, a former French colonial official who served in Vietnam and was sympathetic towards Vietnamese nationalism. However, Thọ did not appear as expected and instead Thuỷ represented North Vietnam.[17] Thọ first met Kissinger in a secret meeting in a modest house in Paris on the night of 21 February 1970, marking the beginning of a test of wills that was vĩ đại last three years. Kissinger was later vĩ đại say of Thọ: "I don't look back on our meetings with any great joy, yet he was a person of substance and discipline who defended the position he represented with dedication".[6] Thọ told Kissinger at their first meeting that "Vietnamization" was doomed, dismissively saying in French: "Previously, with over one million U.S and Saigon troops, you have failed. Now how can you win if you let the South Vietnamese Army fight alone and if you only give them military support?".[18] Kissinger took the fact that Thọ began his activism working for Vietnamese independence at the age of 16 as a proof that he was a "fanatic", portraying Thọ vĩ đại Nixon as an unreasonable, uncompromising man, but one was also a well mannered, cultured and polite. Kissinger found Thọ's air of superiority exasperating as Thọ took the viewpoint that North Vietnam was the real Vietnam, and regarded the Americans as "barbarians" who were merely trying vĩ đại delay the inevitable by supporting South Vietnam.[19] In April 1970, Thọ broke off his meetings with Kissinger, saying that there was nothing vĩ đại discuss.[20] An attempt by Kissinger vĩ đại talk vĩ đại Thọ again in May 1970 was rejected with a note reading "The U.S. words of peace are just empty ones".[21]

By May 1971, Thọ started vĩ đại change tactics in the talks, insisting that the main issue now was removing President Thiệu after the Americans departed.[22] In July 1971, Kissinger taunted Thọ with the news that President Nixon would be visiting Đài Loan Trung Quốc soon vĩ đại meet Mao Zedong, telling him that the days when the North Vietnamese could count of the supply of Chinese arms were coming vĩ đại close. Thọ showed no emotion, saying: "That is your affair. Our fighting is our preoccupation, and that will decide the outcome for our country. What you have told us will have no influence on our fighting".[23] In March 1972, the North Vietnamese launched the Easter Offensive that was initially successful, and led vĩ đại warnings that the United States would start bombing North Vietnam again.[24] Thọ sent a message saying if the bombing was resumed, it would be "a very serious step of escalation, aimed at stopping the collapse of the situation in South Vietnam and putting pressure on us".[25] On 2 May 1972, Thọ had his 13th meeting with Kissinger in Paris. The meeting was hostile as the North Vietnamese had just taken Quang Tri City in South Vietnam, which led Nixon vĩ đại tell Kissinger "No nonsense. No niceness. No accommodations". During the meeting, Thọ mentioned that Senator William Fulbright was criticizing the Nixon administration, leading Kissinger vĩ đại say: "Our domestic discussions are no concern of yours". Thọ snapped back: "I'm giving an example vĩ đại prove that Americans share our views".[26] When Kissinger asked Thọ why North Vietnam had not responded on a proposal he sent via the Soviet Union, Thọ replied: "We have on many occasions said that if you have any question, you should talk vĩ đại directly vĩ đại us, and we shall talk directly vĩ đại you. We don't speak through a third person".[27]

Thọ next met Kissinger on 19 July 1972.[28] Kissinger asked: "If the United States can accept governments in large that are not pro-American, why should it insist on a pro-U.S government in Saigon?"[29] Thọ stated that Kissinger were not offering anything new. By August 1972, Kissinger was promising Thọ that he would pressure Thieu vĩ đại resign if only Thọ would agree vĩ đại make a peace giảm giá before the presidential elections of that year. Thọ told Kissinger that the timetable for Thieu's departure was no longer an immediate concern, and instead he wanted some $8 billion in reparations for the war damage. Kissinger also told Thọ that he wanted vĩ đại tell the world about their secret meetings since 1970 in order vĩ đại give the impression that Nixon was making progress on peace in Vietnam, a suggestion that Thọ rejected, saying it was not his job vĩ đại assist Nixon's reelection chiến dịch.[30] On 15 September 1972, Kissinger told Thọ: "We wish vĩ đại kết thúc before October 15-if sooner, all the better".[31] Thọ told Hanoi that Kissinger wanted a peace agreement before the election and now was the best time vĩ đại settle.[32]

On 7 October 1972, Kissinger and Thọ agreed vĩ đại a government of national reconciliation in Saigon that was vĩ đại include the National Liberation Front. Kissinger told Thọ that he expected a peace agreement vĩ đại be signed in Paris on 25 or 26 October 1972, saying that all was needed now as the approval of Thieu and Nixon.[33] However, when Kissinger arrived in Saigon, Thieu refused vĩ đại sign the peace agreement.[34] Nixon had initially agreed vĩ đại the peace agreement, but upon hearing of Thieu's claims of betrayal started vĩ đại change his mind.[35] On trăng tròn November 1972, Kissinger met Thọ again in Paris. Kissinger no longer aimed at secrecy and was followed by paparazzi as he went vĩ đại a house owned by the French Communist Party where Thọ was waiting for him. Kissinger announced that the Americans wanted major changes vĩ đại the peace agreement made in October vĩ đại accommodate Thieu, which led Thọ vĩ đại accuse him of negotiating in bad faith. Thọ stated: "We have been deceived by the French, the Japanese and the Americans. But the deception has never been sánh flagrant as of now". Kissinger insisted the changes he wanted were only minor, but in effect he wanted vĩ đại renegotiate almost the entire agreement. Thọ rejected Kissinger's terms, saying he would abide by the terms agreed vĩ đại on 8 October.[36] Putting more pressure, Nixon told Kissinger vĩ đại break off the talks if Thọ would not agree vĩ đại the changes he wanted. Kissinger told Nixon: "While we have a moral case for bombing North Vietnam when it does not accept our terms, it seems vĩ đại be really stretching the point vĩ đại bomb North Vietnam when it has accepted our terms and when South Vietnam has not". By December 1972, the talks had broken, and Nixon decided vĩ đại resume bombing North Vietnam.[37] On 17 December 1972, the Christmas bombings began.[38] On 26 December 1972, North Vietnam announced a willingness vĩ đại resume peace talks in Paris again in January. Though Nixon had decided after all vĩ đại accept the peace terms of 8 October, the bombings allowed him vĩ đại portray himself as having forced North Vietnam vĩ đại the table. The American historian A.J. Langguth wrote the Christmas bombings were "pointless" as the final peace agreement of 23 January 1973 was essentially the same as that of 8 October 1972 as Thọ refused vĩ đại make any substantial concessions.[39]

The relationship between Kissinger and Thọ was antagonistic with Thọ taking the airs of a Vietnamese mandarin lecturing a dim-witted student, which especially enraged the Harvard professor Kissinger. After one meeting, Kissinger asked "Allow mạ vĩ đại ask you one question: bởi you scold your colleagues in the Central Committee the way you scold us?" After the Christmas bombings of 1972, Thọ was in particularly savage mood vĩ đại Kissinger. At their meeting on 8 January 1973 in a house in the French town of Gif-sur-Yvette, Kissinger arrived vĩ đại find nobody at the door vĩ đại greet him. When Kissinger entered the conference room, nobody spoke vĩ đại him. Sensing the hostile mood, Kissinger speaking in French said: "It was not my fault about the bombing". Before Kissinger could say anymore, Thọ exploded in rage, saying in French: "Under the pretext of interrupted negotiations, you resumed the bombing of North Vietnam, just at the moment when I reached trang chủ. You have 'greeted' my arrival in a very courteous manner! You action, I can say, is flagrant and gross! You and no one else strained the honor of the United States". Thọ shouted at Kissinger for over an hour, and despite Kissinger's requests not vĩ đại speak sánh loudly because the reporters outside the room could hear what he was saying, he did not relent. Thọ concluded: "For more kêu ca ten years, America has used violence vĩ đại beat down the Vietnamese people-napalm, B-52s. But you don't draw any lessons from your failures. You continue the same policy. Ngu xuẩn! Ngu xuẩn! Ngu xuẩn!" When Kissinger asked what ngu xuẩn meant in Vietnamese, the translator refused vĩ đại translate, as ngu xuẩn (in Chữ Nôm: 愚蠢) roughly means that a person is grossly stupid.[40]

When Kissinger was finally able vĩ đại speak, he argued that it was Thọ who by being unreasonable had forced Nixon vĩ đại order the Christmas bombings, a claim that led Thọ vĩ đại snap in fury: "You've spent billions of dollars and many tons of bombs when we had a text ready vĩ đại sign".[41] Kissinger replied: "I have heard many adjectives in your comments. I propose that you should not use them". Thọ answered: "I have used those adjectives with a great giảm giá of restraint already. The world opinion, the U.S. press and U.S. political personalities have used harsher words".[42]

When the talks finally began, Kissinger put forward the demand that North Vietnam pull out all of its troops out of South Vietnam, a demand that Thọ rejected out of hand. Thọ stated the only issues remaining were the demilitarized zone (DMZ), which he wanted vĩ đại see abolished under the grounds that all of Vietnam was one country while Kissinger insisted that only civilians be allowed vĩ đại cross the DMZ that divided the two Vietnams. After much argument, Kissinger agreed vĩ đại take the issue of the DMZ out of the peace agreement and inserted the phrase "among the questions vĩ đại be negotiated there is the question of the modalities for civilian movement across the provisional military demarcation line". A paragraph was inserted calling for the withdraw of all foreign forces from South Vietnam, which Kissinger claimed was a commitment from Thọ vĩ đại pull out North Vietnamese forces, an interpretation he did not share as he argued that the North Vietnamese troops were not foreign. Thọ told Kissinger that if a peace agreement was signed, that within 15 days a peace agreement would be signed for Laos, but he stated unlike the Pathet Lao in Laos, North Vietnam had no influence or control over the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Kissinger did not believe Thọ's claims that the Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot was a fanatical Khmer nationalist with a ferocious hatred of the Vietnamese, the ancient arch-enemies of the Khmer. After the meeting, Kissinger told Thọ: "We must forget all that has happened. When we walk out, we must be smiling".[42]

On the night of 9 January 1973, Kissinger phoned Nixon in Washington vĩ đại say that a peace agreement would be signed very soon.[42] On 10 January 1973, the negotiations broke down when Kissinger demanded the release of all American POWs in North Vietnam once a peace agreement was signed, but offered no guarantees about Viet Cong prisoners being held in South Vietnam. Thọ stated: "I cannot accept your proposal. I completely reject it".[43] Thọ wanted the release of all prisoners once a peace agreement was signed, which led Kissinger vĩ đại say this was an unreasonable demand.[44] Thọ who had been tortured as a young man by the French colonial police for advocating Vietnamese independence shouted: "You have never been a prisoner. You don't understand suffering. It's unfair". Kissinger finally offered the concession that the United States would use "maximum influence" vĩ đại pressure the South Vietnamese government vĩ đại release all Viet Cong prisoners within sixty days of a peace agreement being signed.[43] On 23 January 1973 at 12:45 pm Kissinger and Thọ signed the peace agreement.[44]

The basic facts of the Accords included: release of POWs within 80 days; ceasefire vĩ đại be monitored by the International Commission of Control and Supervision (ICC); không tính phí and democratic elections vĩ đại be held in South Vietnam; U.S. aid vĩ đại South Vietnam would continue; and North Vietnamese troops could remain in South Vietnam. On 28 March 1973, the last of the American forces left South Vietnam.[44] While 23 January is generally recognized as the enactment date of the Peace Accords, the talks continued out of necessity. Sporadic fighting continued in some regions, while U.S. ground forces were removed by 29 March. Due vĩ đại continued ceasefire violations by all sides, Kissinger and Thọ met in Paris in May and June 1973 for the purpose of getting the implementation of the peace agreement back on track. On 13 June 1973, the United States and North Vietnam signed a joint communique pledging mutual tư vấn for full implementation of the Paris Accords.

Nobel Peace Prize[edit]

Thọ and Henry Kissinger were jointly awarded the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts in negotiating the Paris Peace Accords.[45] However, Thọ declined vĩ đại accept the award, claiming that peace had not yet been established, and that the United States and the South Vietnamese governments were in violation of the Paris Peace Accords:

However, since the signing of the Paris agreement, the United States and the Saigon administration continue in grave violation of a number of key clauses of this agreement. The Saigon administration, aided and encouraged by the United States, continues its acts of war. Peace has not yet really been established in South Vietnam. In these circumstances it is impossible for mạ vĩ đại accept the 1973 Nobel Prize for Peace which the committee has bestowed on mạ. Once the Paris accord on Vietnam is respected, the arms are silenced and a real peace is established in South Vietnam, I will be able vĩ đại consider accepting this prize. With my thanks vĩ đại the Nobel Prize Committee please accept, madame, my sincere respects.[46]

Winning the war[edit]

In January 1974, Thọ told General Hoàng Văn Thái he could not leave vĩ đại take up a command in South Vietnam as he had expected, saying that the Politburo had assigned Thọ another, more important task. General Thai begged Thọ vĩ đại let him go win glory on the battlefield, but he was unyielding, saying that turning the Ho Chi Minh Trail into a highway was more important. Using bulldozers from the Soviet Union and Đài Loan Trung Quốc, over the course of 1974, General Thai transformed the Ho Chi Minh Trail into a paved, four lane highway that ran 1,200 km from North Vietnam through Laos and Cambodia into South Vietnam. He also laid down a 3,000 mile pipeline vĩ đại carry oil.[47] The paving of the Ho Chi Minh Trail allowed North Vietnam vĩ đại not only send more troops vĩ đại South Vietnam, but vĩ đại keep them well supplied.

In December 1974, the North Vietnamese launched an offensive in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam that proved more successful kêu ca expected and on 6 January 1975 took the provincial capital of Phuoc Long. Le Duan, the secretary-general of the Vietnamese Workers' Party, decided vĩ đại follow up this victory with an offensive vĩ đại seize all of the Central Highlands and sent Thọ down vĩ đại monitor operations.[48] Following the Communist victory at the Battle of Ban Me Thuot which ended on 11 March 1975, Thọ approved the plans of the North Vietnamese commander, General Van Tien Dung, vĩ đại take Pleiku and push further south. Thọ also reported vĩ đại Hanoi that the South Vietnamese Army were suffering from low morale and fighting poorly, which led him vĩ đại suggest that all of South Vietnam might be taken that year, instead of 1976 as originally planned. The name of the chiến dịch vĩ đại take Saigon would be the Ho Chi Minh chiến dịch.[49] The principal problem for the North Vietnamese was that operations had vĩ đại be completed before the monsoons arrived in June, giving them a very short period of two months vĩ đại win the war in 1975.[50] Thọ sent Le Duan a poem that began "You warned: Go out and come back in victory...The time of opportunity has arrived". By April 1975, the North Vietnamese had advanced within striking distance of Saigon with what would prove vĩ đại be the last major battle of the Vietnam war taking place at Phan Rang between 13 and 16 April 1975.[51]

On 22 April 1975, General Dung showed Thọ his plan vĩ đại take Saigon, which he approved, saying as he signed off on Dung's plan that this was the death sentence for the regime of "reactionary traitors" in Saigon.[52] On 30 April 1975, the North Vietnamese took Saigon and Thọ entered the thành phố in triumph. He immediately phối about giving orders vĩ đại ensure that the water works and electricity grid of Saigon was still functioning; that food would continue vĩ đại arrive from the countryside; vĩ đại make arrangements vĩ đại giảm giá with the one million soldiers of the South Vietnamese Army that he ordered dissolved; and appointing administrators vĩ đại replace the South Vietnamese officials. On behalf of the Politburo he gave General Dung a telegram from Hanoi that simply read: "Political Bureau is most happy". On 1 May 1975, a parade was held in Saigon vĩ đại celebrate both May Day and the victory with Thọ watching the victorious soldiers march down the streets of Saigon, which was soon renamed Ho Chi Minh City.[53]
