HA NOI (VNS)— A book highlighting 103 events during the life and career of the late General Vo Nguyen Giap has been released, marking the 100th day since his death on October 4.

Printed by Tre (Youth) Publishing House, the book, Vo Nguyen Giap Nhung Nam Thang Cuoc Doi (Vo Nguyen Giap – Years of Life), highlights the number 103 – which was the age of the country's General.

Spanning more than a century, his life mirrored many of the nation's most important events.
