Le Duc Tho
Le Duc Tho was a prominent Vietnamese politician and diplomat known for his role as the chief negotiator for North Vietnam during the Paris Peace Accords, which aimed to end the Vietnam War. He was recognized for his hardline stance and refusal to compromise on critical issues, ultimately earning the nickname 'The Hammer' among his colleagues. Despite being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize alongside Henry Kissinger in 1973 for their efforts in achieving a ceasefire, Tho declined the honor, believing that true peace had yet to be realized.
