Vietnam's General Vo Nguyen Giap dies
Vo Nguyen Giap, the Vietnamese general who masterminded
victories against France and the US, has died aged 102.
His defeat of French forces at Dien Bien Phu in 1954
effectively ended French colonial rule in the region.
He went on to oversee the Tet Offensive against American forces
in 1968, often cited as one of the factors that led to the Americans'
withdrawal.
Gen Giap also published a number of works on military strategy.
