More than a year before his 1954 victory over the French, he launched a savage campaign against his own people. In virtually every North Vietnamese village, strong-arm squads assembled the populace to witness the âconfessionsâ of landowners. As time went on, businessmen, intellectuals, school teachers, civic leaders â all who represented a potential source of future opposition â were also rounded up and forced to âconfessâ to âerrors of thought.â There followed public âtrials,â conviction and, in many cases, execution. People were shot, beheaded, beaten to death; some were tied up, thrown into open graves and covered with stones until they were crushed to death, Ho has renewed his terror in North Vietnam periodically. Between 50,000 and 100,000 are believed to have died in these blood-baths â in a coldly calculated effort to discipline the party and the masses. To be sure, few who escape Hoâs terror now seem likely to tempt his wrath. During the 1950s, however, he had to quell some sizeable uprisings in North Vietnam â most notably one that occurred in early November 1956, in the An province, which included Hoâs birthplace village of Nam Dan. So heavily had he taxed the region that the inhabitants finally banded together and refused to meet his price. Ho sent troops to collect, and then sent in an army division, shooting. About 6,000 unarmed villagers were killed. The survivors scattered, some escaping to the South. The slaughter went largely unnoticed by a world then preoccupied with the Soviet Unionâs rape of Hungary.
