A portrait of Ho Chi Mihn serves as the focal point of this propaganda piece.

Vietnamese propaganda art is unlike that of any other nation. The art is unique and starting to be recognized world-wide. In its heyday during the war, both art and the entire country were in upheaval, and the images produced were the most evocative. This might be the only time you see an original painting like this because not many survived, and the ones that did are usually displayed in museums. Khong Co Gi Quy Ho'n Doc Lap Tu Do translates roughly as "Nothing is more precious than freedom of choice."
