Encyclopedic overview

Lê Đức Anh ( Vietnamese: [le˧˧ ʔɗɨk̚˧˦ ʔajŋ̟˧˧]; 1 December 1920 – 22 April 2019) was a Vietnamese politician and general who served as the fifth President of Vietnam from 1992 to 1997. He previously led the Vietnamese forces in Cambodia throughout the 1980s. He was regarded as a conservative who advocated maintaining tight party control over domestic policies.

Lê Đức Anh's military career spanned many battlefields across Vietnam, from north to south. Vietnamese primarily remember him for his role in the war against the United States and his command of Vietnamese forces in Cambodia.
