1968125181968. Photograph Album. Hardcover. Very good. Unpublished Vietnam War correspondent photographs depicting military personnel prisoners of war battle zones and various graphic scenes of Vietnam in the late 1960s. 123 black and white photographs. Housed in red leatherette three-ring binder with gilt borders and bands measures 11" x 11" x 2.5". Images affixed to self-adhesive magnetic photo sleeves. Wear and rubbing to binder secure metal rings. A few loose photos some mylar peeling on sleeves. Some photographs with war department publication information on verso. Includes numerous captions written for professional publication reporting on various attacks and military operations throughout Vietnam. Features photographs taken for the United States Army United States Marines Royal Australian Regiment Royal New Zealand Artillery and the Southeast Asia Pictorial Center. The Vietnam War 1954-1975 is considered the first "living room war" due to its daily appearance on television and in the press. The war's controversial and polarizing nature only further propelled its publicity and detailed documentation as seen in this example. The majority of these photos are from late 1967 and early 1968 on location in Hue Nui Dat an Australian base now a part of Ba Ria Saigon and Long Binh/Bien Hoa outside Ho Chi Minh. Multiple images refer to Operation Coburg an Australian and New Zealand military action against the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong over the Lunar New Year festivities of 1968. It was the first time the Australian Task Force was deployed beyond its Tactical Area of Responsibility which set a precedent for later operations that extended beyond the assigned province of Phuoc Tuy. hardcover

There will be a total withdrawal from South Vietnam of all U.S. forces The White House press release issued to coincide with Nixon's 25 January 1972 address to the nation in which he revealed that Kissinger was negotiating with the North Vietnamese. This copy has the ownership signature of Clark MacGregor 1922-2003 a senior aide in the Nixon White House. Nixon's speech affirmed America's willingness to withdraw all of its forces within six months of any agreement release POWS and not interfere in free and fair elections in South Vietnam. "The President did not mention that he was proposing a cease-fire-in-place that would leave North Vietnamese troops occupying and governing South Vietnamese territory. Nor did he mention what Kissinger had told Chinese premiere Zhou Enlai at their first meeting: 'If the South Vietnamese government is as unpopular as you seem to think then the quicker our forces are withdrawn the quicker it will be overthrown. And if it is overthrown after we withdraw we will not intervene'" Hughes. Before serving in the White House MacGregor spent a decade in Congress. In 1972 he took over from John Mitchell as head of Nixon's re-election campaign. 2 xeroxed leaves 355 x 220 mm each printed one side only. Old horizontal creases light toning: very good.

Narrow quarto. Photograph album of black textured cloth gilt label on front board. Photographs in generally nice condition. Very good.

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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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
19693487Phu Cat Vietnam 1969. Very good. 10 leaves illustrated with seventy-six color photographs plus a few pages filled with newspaper clippings greeting cards and other ephemera and with examples of Vietnamese currency and coins laid in. Contemporary spiral bound pictorial green textured paper-covered boards illustrated with an outline map and stamped "Memory of South Viet-Nam." Edges somewhat scuffed boards lightly soiled. Occasional mild fading to some pictures. A unique collection of photographs and ephemera capturing the exploits of a young American Airman in Vietnam named Michael L. Beeman. Hailing from Mount Vernon Ohio Beeman trained at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio and then served with the United States Air Force's 37th Security Police United in Phu Cat Vietnam beginning in 1968. A newspaper clipping included here and describing Beeman's service is dated in manuscript "June 6-69." The photographs picture a wide range of subjects beginning with a "Vietnam Sunset" views of numerous temples palaces and statuary Buddhist monks a "Ceremonial Dance" street scenes in Phu Cat scenes in the countryside including Vietnamese children shots from a boxing match two out-of-focus pictures of a cockfight river views and scenes of Beeman horsing around with his fellow soldiers. Some of the other soldiers including a couple of African American buddies are identified by name. unknown
74627Fascinating album concerning an officer's dealings with the hill tribes in the mountains around Vietnam the Montagnards an umbrella term coined by the French for the indigenous mountain people. Quarto three-ring binder. It contains 85 black and white photographs and 20 color photographs of Lt. Col. Frank F. Shelby in his interactions with the Montagnards and with his own unit. Binder and photographs both in very good condition.<br /> <br /> Shelby b.1929 grew up in Lexington Missouri. He joined the army in time to serve in the Korean War where he was with the 5th Regimental Combat Team. It was in Korea that he met his wife Jean who was also in the Army serving in the Women's Army Corps. He eventually ended up in Vietnam and was assigned to the U.S. Military Assistance Command Vietnam MACV a joint-service command of the United States Department of Defense. It was first implemented to assist the Military Assistance Advisory Group MAAG Vietnam controlling every advisory and assistance effort in Vietnam but was reorganized on May 15 1964 and absorbed MAAG Vietnam to its command when combat unit deployment became too large for advisory group control. He and Jean retired in 1973 and soon opened a Sambo's restaurant in the Cordova Mall in Pensacola.<br /> <br /> The Monochrome photographs are generally 5 ½†x 3 ½†except for about five 8†x 10†and document Shelby’s military service in 1969-70. He seems to have been a liaison of sorts with the Montagnard troops fighting with the Americans. But unlike other war albums his seemed to be a mission of coercion and diplomacy. There are no vivid photographs of napalm burning or helicopters crashing. Rather almost the whole album shows him relating to the Montagnards. He visited many Montagnard encampments distributing food and resources smoking ceremonial pipe with the elders arranging concerts etc. Much of the album are photographs portraits of solitary Montagnards.<br /> <br /> Also includes a printed multicolor "Giay Thong-Hanh" pass. It states "Safe-conduct pass to be honored by all Vietnamese Government agencies and allied forces" and consists of a yellow slip with lettering in English and Vietnamese bearing images of the flags of all the allied troops. In the margin Shelby has written "These are passed out in Villages and dropped from planes. All part of the PSYOP program. unknown
