198627848Novato:: Presidio 1986. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. This work presents a comprehensive command history clear action and a vivid but humane narrative. The first all-South Vietnamese offensive into Laos in early 1971 produced both an interruption of Northern buildups and a test of Vietnamization of the war but despite a 10-to-1 casualty ratio and tons of captured supplies was seen to be so savage and damaging to the South and to American support forces that much of the military and the press deemed it a defeat. Nolan's arguments that it had positive effects are well presented and convincing. Presidio, unknown

198962849Washington D.C.: History and Museums Division 1989. First Edition. First Printing. 4to. 27cm x 21cm. Publisher's green cloth. Dustjacket. Titled and decorated to spine and front board with the USMC globe and anchor in gilt. Pictorial dustjacket bright and clean with some marginal wear and chipping most visibly to spine ends and the lower edge of the rear panel which has a fingernail sized triangle of loss and a small closed tear. A very good strong copy. 295pp. Internally clean. A candid record of the challenges and unprecedented cirumstances the USMC legal department in Vietnam had to deal with. Fragging of unpopular officers casual murder of Vietnamese civilians sexual assault massive amounts of theft and graft and a drug problem that obviously gives rise to a flourishing drugs trade that was so widespread and serious that it threatened to destabilise the entire system of military law were all handled by somewhere in the region of 500 men and women of the Navy and Marines legal teams between 1965 and 1973. Many of the lawyers involved in cases in Vietnam were also combat personnel fighting on the ground and practising military law in addition to their regular duties meaning that they were probably more qualified to defend and prosecute the men under their charge than just about any body of lawyers in history.

1966List36100New York: New York Workshop in Nonviolence 1966. Broadside poster printed in red on white stock approximately 14 x 11 inches. Near Fine. A poster announcing the Peace Illumination Walk an anti-Vietnam War demonstration held in New York City on Friday December 23 1966. Participants were instructed to assemble in Washington Square at 6 p.m. and march through Manhattan carrying candles “in sympathy with suffering in Vietnam.†The walk was to conclude about 8 p.m. with a light tableau in Midtown followed at 9 p.m. by a benefit celebration at the Palm Gardens. The event was organized by the New York Workshop in Nonviolence and advertised as a benefit for Vietnamese children. Speakers and performers listed on the poster include poets Allen Ginsberg Denise Levertov and Jackson Mac Low; the satirist Paul Krassner later a founder of the Youth International Party Yippies; novelist Gilbert Sorrentino; and the countercultural rock group The Fugs led by Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg.

1960Cat357Japan Taiwan Korea and the US 1960. 15 ¼ x 11 inch album with attractive painted cover containing approximately 235 photos mainly 3 ½ x 5 inches and smaller. Contents generally in excellent condition. Excellent. A photo album by an unknown US Marine containing photos from his time in Okinawa Taiwan and Korea in the 1950s and 1960s. At the time—the earliest dated photo in the album is from April 1956—the Vietnam War was in its early days with Eisenhower deploying MAAG to train the ARVN in late 1955. It is not clear what unit the photographer was with as only his training platoon 46 of the Second Recruit Battalion on Parris Island is identified; however this photo’s caption includes “Photo by MAAGâ€.<br /> <br /> The album appears to be divided between the three locations each of which was strategic in the Cold War broadly and for American efforts in Vietnam in particular. It is highlighted by a series of photographs apparently from Taiwan showing agricultural workers planting and posing with their crops and children. In the 1950s under the China Aid Act the Sino-American Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction JCRR had launched a land reform financed by American aid and staffed by ROC scientists. In the 1960s this program expanded to crop diversification and the creation of the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center. These efforts towards agricultural development in Taiwan were like other US efforts in the region intended to contain the spread of Communism.1<br /> <br /> Other photos from Taiwan include shots of the ships; men outside their tents vehicles and straw huts smoking and playing cards; some are city streets but most are of the countryside. Several notable photos show the Marines playing at being POWs: in one a man poses with his hands on his head next to a sign reading “POW AND CAPTURED / EQUIPMENT COMPOUND†and in another one soldier pretends to march his fellow at gunpoint.<br /> <br /> Photos from Okinawa show military vehicles city streets and American and Japanese men—many Okinawans were employed by the US military during its occupation. Many scenes appear to show construction efforts with USMC-marked bulldozers and tractors driving around fields of dirt and rock in the countryside with a few of these showing Okinawa residents as well.<br /> <br /> South Korea also played an active role in the Vietnam War. Photos from Korea show tanks and other vehicles along the coast and being loaded into ships American soldiers driving and posing in the countryside and several of village streets and residents.<br /> <br /> Other subjects include target shooting transit on a ship captioned “WESTWARD HO / FAR EAST BOUND†and some that appear to be family and scenery shots in the US dated April 1961.<br /> <br /> Overall the album provides a look not just at the activities of the Marine Corps in the early US advisory era of the Vietnam War but also the people and places of the US’s strategic activities in East Asia. Of interest to historians of the Vietnam War Cold War and US empire.<br /> <br /> 1 Leo Chu “‘A bloodless social revolution’: Land reform and multiple cropping in Cold War Taiwan 1950–1979†The history of crop science and the future of food 6 no. 5 September 2024 1104–1110. unknown

197462875Berkeley CA: Samisdat Press 1974. First Edition. First Printing. Publisher's pale green wraps titled and decorated in black to spine and front board with a reproduction of the author's USMC telegram notifying his parents of him taking a shrapnel wound to the stomach to the rear wrap. A touch of fading here and there with soome very light shelfwear but a very good strong copy. 116pp. Internally clean. Signed by the author to the title page. One peculiarity is that the final leaf of the story "Diehard" has been typed manually and added to the volume at the rear where a printed leaf would belong with no sign of an "original" leaf being missing. Whether this was a later fix from a previous owner or something done in house due to a binding error is difficult to establish especially with "homemade" publishing. This is the first appearance of "A Few Good Men" a series of short vicious little war stories that are amongst the clearest invocations of the prevalent lunacy present in the canon. It was eventually reprinted in a book form in 1978 by Morrow/Avon this first appearance seems elusive especially signed. Samisdat Press unknown
197662704Princeton: For The Author 1976. First Edition. 8vo. Publisher's photographic card covers titled in black to spine very light wear and some slight soiling to the white rear panel a clean bright copy. 164pp. Internally clean inscribed by the author to the half title:<br /> "With all good wishes Lucy Caldwell Princeton New Jersey."<br /> The privately printed autobiographical account of Lucy Caldwell's remarkable journey to Vietnam at the height of the war to help wounded servicemen after seeing anti-military propaganda. An astonishing effort for a civilian with no military experience and one with more than its share of challenges; Caldwell's attendance upon wounded GI's was accompanied by a cloud of Shalimar perfume; which the soldiers even the ones who couldn't see quickly figured out meant that they weren't doing so well prompting one man she was attempting to comfort to groan: "Oh no I can smell her. I'm not that bad. I'm going to make it. For The Author unknown
197262808Boston: Beacon Press 1972. First Revised Edition. 4to. 28cm x 22cm. Publisher's red pictorial card covers. Minor creasing and soiling most visibly to the lower corner of the front cover price discreetly excised with a hole punch to the upper front corner. Clean and sharp a very good copy. 289pp. Internally clean. A very highly detailed and in-depth assessment of the resources manpower and costs in play during the air war component of the war in Vietnam with a particular focus upon the intangible nature of that conflict to the average American. An air war is distant and notionally inaccessible to the general public is the general argument of the work which was compiled initially in a smaller report in November 1971 then expanded upon by the Anti-War Study group at Cornell University and a wider body of contributors including Rapahel Littauer Saha Amarasingham Chandler Morse Norman Uphoff and Carl Sagan amongst a number of others assessing the impact upon economies ecologies diverse human populations neighbouring nations and the potential continuing and more widespread effects that would be expected to spiral outwards should the aerial campaign continue at contemporary levels. One of the primary thrusts of the research is that Nixon's government used the execution of a massive and sustained aerial campaign to push forward initiatives they would not otherwise have been permitted to pursue for various physical economic and humanitarian reasons. One of many sobering points put across throughout the course of the study is that by the time of publication the US had dropped more bombs on Vietname than were dropped on Europe during the entirety of WW2.

196926975<p>Washington DC:: U.S. Marine Corps 1969. First Printing of the First Edition. A Very Good Plus copy in illustrated wraps with a small chip missing from the backstrip. No hardcover edition was issued. This is the story of the defenders of Khe Sanh--and the epic 77-day struggle which not only denied the North Vietnamese Army a much needed victory but reaffirmed to the world the intention of the United States to hold the line in Southeast Asia. In addition to having been a contest of men and machines this was the test of a nation's will. As a history this work is not intended to prove any point but rather to record objectively the series of events which came to be called the Battle of Khe Sanh. These events spanned a period from April 1967 to April 1968. Uncommon.</p> U.S. Marine Corps, hardcover

Titled in dark brown and red to spine and front board with an embossed flame design in blind to front board. Clean and strong with some light bumping to the spine ends in bright pictorial dustjacket with some fraying and scuffing to the spine ends a very good. clean copy indeed. 284pp. Internally clean. With 17pp. of photographs to the middle of the book taken by the author including a sequence of images of the Buddhist monk Thich Quang Duc self immolating in Saigon on June 11th 1963 the capturing of which event gained Browne lasting recognition and won him a Pulitzer. Another rather more significant effect of Browne's photograph is that by the morning of June 12th John F. Kennedy had the photograph on his desk pointed at it and bluntly told US Ambassador to Vietnam Henry Cabot Lodge who contributed the preface to this book "This sort of thing has got to stop." Whilst that might sound like a relatively mild response to the suicide by fire of a respected holy man it effectively signalled the end of US support for the Ngo Dinh Diem regime and changed the course of the next ten years of conflict and upheaval.

Highly controversial upon its publication and asking a number of questions that its 1967 readers clearly weren't comfortable discovering the answers to Kolpacoff's novel deals with a nightmarish situation in which a disgraced US soldier's refusal to fight lands him in a brutal prison camp. He is offered reinstatement if he participates in the interrogation and torture of a 17 year old Vietcong prisoner in a claustrophobic jungle hut with four other men all of whom possess varying reasons and motivations for being there but who are all simply through association equally damned. Kolpacoff was never in Vietnam which seems immaterial to the main question posed by this his first novel; it is not so much what we are doing to our enemies but what are we doing to ourselves New American Library unknown
198727886<p>New York:: Crown 1987. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. The Ravens were American forward air-controllers who directed strikes from vulnerable low-flying spotter planes mainly in support of a Meo general named Vang Pao in Laos. "Advised" by the CIA this fierce warlord fought to keep the North Vietnamese out of the strategic Plain of Jars. Robbins Air America conveys the unique flavor of Raven-style combat and also explains how the diplomatic-military dynamics of the clandestine war in Laos fit into the overall American effort in Southeast Asia. The cast of characters is memorable: a swaggering rowdy bunch of mavericks whom their parent service the U.S. Air Force had great difficulty controlling they seemed to get by on sheer cussedness. According to the author they suffered the highest casualty rate of the Indochinese War. Robbins describes the poignant plight of displaced Meo/Hmong tribespeople who have settled uneasily in the United Statesincluding General Paoand their ongoing struggle to "propitiate the alien spirits of America."
