Giap, Vo Nguyen (1910?–) general in the Vietnamese army, born in Quang binh, Vietnam. Giap is credited with the victory over the French at
Dien Bien Phu (1954) and later, as both political and military leader of North Vietnam after its partition, for the victory over South Vietnam and the United States in the
Vietnam War. Giap had been active in the Vietnamese independence movement and the Communist party since his youth. He was considered a brilliant military strategist and tactician, and an authority on guerrilla warfare. Giap held several high government positions after the reunification of Vietnam.
