George Burchett, the journalist’s son, will take part in the event to talk about his father’s books about Vietnam: The Northern Side of the 17th Parallel, Guerrilla Warfare, The Stories from inside the Revolutionary Bases, and The North Vietnam.

On Monday, the late journalist was conferred a medal by the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations for his contributions to promote friendship between Vietnam and other nations.

Born in 1922 in Melbourne, Burchett was known for his coverage of conflicts in Asia and his Communist sympathies.

Burchett began his career in journalism in 1940 and was the first foreign correspondent to be in Hiroshima after the atomic bomb was dropped.

He always supported Vietnam during the Vietnam War and was a close friend of Ho Chi Minh.

Burchett passed away at 72 in Bulgaria.
