The Sự Thật (Truth) National Political Publishing House has launched a special collection of letters showcasing the glorious national history and the love of a young generation during the country's wartime.
The book titled Những Lá Thư Thời Chiến Việt Nam (Letters of Việt Nam Wartime), released recently in HCM City, includes 200 handwritten letters from soldiers and young people collected and complied by journalist Đặng Vương Hưng.
All of the letters belong to a "brave young generation who were ready to sacrifice and dedicate their youth to revolutionary ideal and national liberation," said Nguyễn Hoài Anh, deputy director of the Sự Thật National Political Publishing House.
