GI TEACH-IN FLYER

73830A single-sided flyer for a GI Teach-In held Saturday August 10 1968 at Provo Park in Berkeley California. The flyer features a black and white photographic image of a weary soldier leaning against a tree and smoking a cigarette with the caption: Bring Him Home. The program for the event advertised G.I. speakers Vietnam veterans an open mic and bands. The flyer states: "During the April 27th Mobilization Against the War servicemen from bases throughout the Bay Area participated in the antiwar actions. This was the first time that active G.I.'s joined with students to protest the war. We must involve these GIs we must encourage their opposition; they are being sent to kill and be killed in a senseless war." The event was hosted by the Student Mobilization Committee which was formed in 1966 to coordinate opposition to U.S. involvement in the war in Vietnam among college and high school students. Originally named The Vietnam Day Committee the SMC organized protests on campuses and in various cities and was one of the first groups that included both soldiers and civilians. Coverage of the GI Teach-In appeared in the Berkeley Barb Volume 7 Issue 7 August 16-22 1968: "'I've learned two things in Vietnam' said the veteran 'war is hell and the Army sucks.' That was the basic theme of the GI teach-in held last Saturday in Berkeley's Provo Park. The mike was open only to soldiers or ex-soldiers and it had a constant flow of users from the audience. After opening speeches by Don Duncan and some newer faces including Ron Alexander ex-special Forces Dennis Steele ex-101st Airborne and Airman First Class Michael Locks the mike was thrown open. It remained occupied for several hours.Speakers reported that in Vietnam the mood of the soldiers has changed drastically from the early days. Now NCO's and below can denounce the war policy in front of an officer who will at the most turn and leave. All of the speakers agreed that it was of prime importance to give soldiers some indications of support in their antiwar views both on base and off." This scarce piece is photomechanically reproduced on a 11" x 8 Â½" sheet of white paper which is a bit toned with a one-inch closed tear along the right edge; otherwise very good. unknown books

The Pentagon Papers: William Bundy's Annotated Copy

197121291William Bundy's 5-volume set of the "Senator Gravel Edition" of the Pentagon Papers with annotations marginal notes and two legal-size pages with handwritten notes arranged chronologically. VIETNAM WAR.Books. The Pentagon Papers. Boston: Beacon Press 1971-1972. First Editions. Five paperback books volumes I-IV in green printed covers volume V in orange. 5Â¾ x 9 inches each. Pages varies by volume. Volume V Critical Essays edited by Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn has a Beacon Press review copy slip taped to the half-title and an address label paperclipped to the same page. The label is addressed to Bundy as editor of Foreign Affairs and has a handwritten date "9/25/72." Historical BackgroundDefense Secretary Robert McNamara commissioned a massive study later called the Pentagon Papers in 1967 and appointed Pentagon arms control director Leslie Gelb as the project's supervisor. Gelb hired 36 military officers civilian policy experts and historians to write the study's monographs. The Pentagon Papersincluded 4000 pages of actual documents from the years 1945â€“67. Daniel Ellsberg with the aid of his friend Anthony Russo leaked most of the Pentagon Papers to New York Timesreporter Neil Sheehan who began publishing excerpts on June 13 1971. Ellsberg later said that the documents "demonstrated unconstitutional behavior by a succession of presidents the violation of their oath and the violation of the oath of every one of their subordinates." Portions of the "Papers" were subsequently published by Beacon Press. The present copy is William Bundy's set of that edition.The Pentagon Papers revealed steps the Johnson and Nixon administrations had taken to escalate the war in Vietnam without informing the public. President Nixon argued that Ellsberg was guilty of felony treason under the 1917 Espionage Act because he had no authority to publish classified documents. Though the Times had been advised not to publish they did so claiming the First Amendment right to publish information essential to citizens' understanding of their government. Nixon's Attorney General John Mitchell obtained a federal court injunction forcing the Times to cease publication. After the Times appealed the case reached the Supreme Court. A separate case involving the Washington Post'spublication of articles based on Ellsberg's leaks also reached the highest court. In June 1971 the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the injunctions were unconstitutional. As Senator Mike Gravel writes in the introduction "We were told that we had to fight on the continent of Asia so that we would not have to battle on the shores of America. One can accept these arguments only if he has failed to read the Pentagon Papers."William Putnam Bundy 1917-2000 graduated from Yale University and worked as an analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency in the 1950s. He had a long distinguished service government in the CIA and in the Defense Department. He was appointed Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs in March 1964. His brother McGeorge Bundy was Special Assistant for National Security Affairs to Kennedy and Johnson from 1961-1966. Both are considered primary architects of America's involvement in Vietnam. In The Best and the Brightest David Halberstam stated that during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations William Bundy's name "would probably be on more pieces of paper dealing with Vietnam over a seven-year period than anyone else's." The publication of The Pentagon Papers represented something of a personal defeat for Bundy who at the time had a 1100-page unfinished manuscript in which he selectively paraphrased from classified papers in his possession. The manuscript was rendered unpublishable by the appearance of these volumes.McGeorge Bundy 1919-1996 brother of William Bundy was one of President Kennedy's closest advisors on national security and he continued to fill that role for President Johnson during the period of escalation of the Vietnam War. He left government service in 1966 to head the Ford Foundation and then returned to university teaching and writing in 1979.ConditionVery Good. Some wear to covers. paperback books

Early Vietnam War Era Indigenous Communities and Street Life in South Vietnam 1950s-60s

1950231831950. Vietnam photographs of Indigenous highland communities urban street life and Western contact likely made in the 1950s or early 1960s before the large-scale arrival of American combat troops in 1965. The group belongs most plausibly to the early U.S. advisory period when American personnel were present in Vietnam from 1950 and increasingly active in South Vietnam after 1955 but still long before the main combat escalation of the war. The juxtaposition of images highlight both upland Indigenous people posed in village or forest-edge settings and small urban views of southern Vietnam in which colonial architecture animal-drawn transport fishing labor and everyday street movement remain visible within the late French and early postcolonial landscape. Photo archive of 11 silver gelatin photographs each 2.25" x 3" Vietnam likely South Vietnam circa 1950s to early 1960s. Several photographs show Indigenous men women and children standing in open grass or along wooded edges wearing wrapped garments bead necklaces and basketry or carrying poles with one image showing women beside woven baskets in shallow water and another showing a figure working in dense vegetation. Exact ethnic identification is not secure from the photographs alone but the upland dress body adornment and basket forms are consistent with communities from Vietnam's Central Highlands or adjacent southern uplands possibly Jarai Ede or Rhade Bahnar Mnong or Stieng all part of the broader grouping often described in French and later English sources as Montagnard or Degar peoples. Other photographs turn to city and urban scenes with one image showing two women fishing another of a man in an ox-drawn carriage a zoo setting with large cats behind fencing and a formal boulevard view centered on a French colonial civic building that is likely the Saigon Municipal Theatre. The city scenes also fit Saigon where the long-established Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens opened to the public in 1869 formed part of the colonial urban core. The posed views of Indigenous highland people and the street scenes of fishermen cart drivers and city residents preserve the way local communities entered the visual record of American presence as subjects observed approached and documented by outsiders attached to the expanding U.S. role in South Vietnam during the 1950s and early 1960s. Light surface wear and minor corner and edge wear; overall very good condition. The combination of Saigon views with photographs of Indigenous upland communities gives the group particular force as a compact record of pre-combat American encounter in southern Vietnam. unknown
