The book closely follows the major milestones in Mr. Trong's career, providing detailed information about his youth and university years, which have remained relatively unknown until now. It also features numerous articles he wrote while working as a journalist for the Communist Review, an official publication of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
Author Cho Chul-hyeon said he was particularly drawn to Mr. Trong because the General Secretary is a leader with a background in literature, which is a rare trait among global leaders. Cho said he hopes that the book will help the younger generations of both countries gain a deeper understanding of the Party chief, especially his early life.
Approximately 6,000 copies of the book have been sold since its release nearly a month ago.
