Lacouture examines both sides of the case and settles for calling him an "ingenious empiricist," a "highly unusual practitioner of Marxism," a master strategist of the "favorable moment." But there is not much doubt that the autonomy of Viet Nam has been the one uncompromising goal of Ho's long, tenacious career...

A master strategist, he perfected the T-formation, initiated the man-in-motion and the use of spread ends, was the first coach to employ movies for spotting mistakes and plotting plays. A superb judge of talent, he gave the game some of its brightest stars: Red Grange, Bronko Nagurski, Sid Luckman, Gale Sayers. A tightfisted businessman, he was known to wrestle fans for the ball after extra...
