Con La Pira in Viet Nam

In November of 1965 Italian statesman Giorgio La Pira went to Hanoi, met Ho Chi Minh and reported useful information that could have ended the war in Vietnam many years in advance. Fifty years after that trip Mario Primicerio, who accompanied La Pira, reports all the details of the journey: his diary, unpublished until now, is accompanied by an extensive reconstruction of the political and military context in the years of the war. "History has shown that the solutions recommended by La Pira were valid and effective peace proposals" Romano Prodi
