==Biography==

Nguyễn was born on 1 July, 1915 originally known as Nguyễn Văn Cúc until he later changed his name to Nguyễn Văn Linh. During the [[Vietnam War]] Nguyễn served in the [[Viet Cong]] as the Chairman of the Central Office from 1961 to 1964 during the first few years during the war. He directed guerrilla warfare against both American and South Vietnamese troops throughout the war, he also specialized in [[propaganda]]. He trained Viet Cong spies and directed the [[Tet Offensive]] in 1968. But most of the time his duties are often more organizational rather than militaristic. After the Vietnam War, he became part of the communist party politburo, and later became the Secretary of the Communist party chief in Saigon and favored a slow transition in the capitol. But as a party politician he was opposed to [[Lê Duẩn]]'s policies and apparently had repeated arguments with Lê which prevented him from rising any further in the ranks within the communist party until he was later removed from the politburo and resigned from the party as a result of an argument regarding the future fate of the former South Vietnamese capital of Saigon as he had firmly defended the city.
