197062822Vermont: Charles E. Tuttle Company 1970. First Edition. First Printing. 8vo. 21cm x 15cm. Publisher's orange illustrated card covers lightly faded to the spine clean bright and attractive. A very good copy. 127pp. Internally clean. A follow on publication from Waterhouse's very popular first "Vietnam Sketchbook; Drawings from Delta to DMZ". Colonel Charles H. Waterhouse USMC Ret. who fought and was wounded at Iwo Jima became an official civilian War Combat Artist for the US Navy in Vietnam before going on to become the US marine Corps first Artist in Residence until the 1990's. His candid on the ground and occasionally in the air portraits of of Navy and USMC personnel going about their duties amidst the civilian population were very popular and seem to have partly contributed to a definitive artisitic "Aesthetic of Vietnam" an instantly recognisable style of war art that is all but accompanied by a smell and a soundtrack.

199262845New York: Random House 1992. Uncorrected Proof. 8vo. 24cm x 15.5cm. Publisher's printed card wraps some scuffing to the laminate here and there but otherwise a near fine copy. 402pp. Internally clean. Black and white charts and diagrams to prelims. A calm informed nothing held back account of one the most influential battles of the early stages of the Vietnam conflict. Moore and Galloway both present for the events of the book Moore in command and Galloway as a correspondent recount step by step the progress of the battle; the first major engagement of the war the first to extensively use helicopters to drop troops and equipment into battle and the first engagment to utilise B-25 bombers as air support. Galloway describes Ia Drang as "The battle that convinced Ho Chi Minh he could win." although that had little to do with the fighting ability of the 7th Cavalry and more to do with the swift tactics lessons the battle offered and the realisation that the US could take but not hold fight but not pursue and they could destroy but only what was on the surface. It changed the course of the conflict for both sides and took many prior strategic techniques back to the drawing board. Uncorrected proofs of this title are quite scarce. Random House unknown
199228678New York:: Random House 1992. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright clipped dust jacket.

Moore and Galloway here offer a detailed account based on interviews with participants and on their own recollections of what happened during the four-day battle.

196662733New York: Frederick Fell 1966. First Edition. First Printing. Special Limited Edition number of copies unknown. 8vo. 21cm x 14cm. Publisher's full black leather titled in gilt to spine with decorative gilt ruling to the front board. Clean and handsome. In a black cloth slipcase duplicating the design of the dustjacket for the trade edition. Inscribed on an inserted handmade paper limitation page with some a rather lavish gold ink limitation statement by the author and his wife:<br /> "Mimi and Marguerite with the deep love and affection of The Kruegers Dec. 4 1966 Carl Krueger Ida Krueger"<br /> Billed as "The First Novel of The Vietnam War" and definitely early although according to Newman's bibliographical survey of Vietnam War fiction this rather showy and gung ho novel ranks as the 12th published novel although only 3 novels were published in 1965 whilst the next 25 or so all made na appearance in 1966. This limited presentation issue of the first edition seems completely unknown. Krueger was a decidedly old school author and screenwriter from the post WW2 adventure cinema genre he has writing credits on "Comanche" and "Sabre Jet" both scorching technicolour action movies. He produced the Wyler/Sturges wartime propaganda documentary "Thunderbolt" in 1944 and seems to have had a leaning towards spectacular aircraft movies where the machines occupied as much if not more screen time as the human actors. That certainly seems to have been the intention here it's very aircraft heavyobsessed with the Phantom II and the Vietnamese characters are portrayed as either Machiavellian or offensively stupid. The trade edition dustwrapper bears the statement: "Mr Krueger will personally produce Wings of The Tiger as the greatest air spectacle ever filmed." As far as can be established Mr. Krueger did not. Regardless of anything else it's an interesting illustration of the fact that going into Vietnam with a WW2 mindset was not something exclusively limited to armchair strategists and DC pundits it was also prevalent among those writing and filming accounts of the conflict.

16334531London: Robert Raworth for Richard Clutterbuck 1633. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Tastefully bound in ruled red morocco interior gilt dentelles; title-page dusty and trimmed at upper & outer margins; repaired corner of prelims. Otherwise very good. Rare first edition of the first book on Vietnam in English an eyewitness account of the commerce government and cultural life of Cochin-China central Vietnam written by the Jesuit missionary Cristoforo Borri and first published in Italian in 1631.Borri begins by marking the kingdom's boundaries identifying it as a narrow strip of land between Laos and the South China Sea bordered to the north by Tongking and to the south by Champa. A discussion of the kingdom's fertile land and rich natural resources follows emphasizing the abundance of fruits nuts rice fish textiles domestic stock and "all other things requisite for the entertainement of a man's life." Silk is produced in such quantities that "the baser sort of people wear it dayly." Gold and silver mines abound and "the Wood and Timber of this countrey is the best of all the world." Having piqued his readers' curiosity the author goes on to describe Cochin-China's vibrant commercial climate declaring it free of the red tape and bureaucratic hostility that so often greeted European traders in East Asia.Borri's 1631 Relazione a Jesuit missions letter directed at his Catholic superiors and lay readers was already unusual among works in its genre for devoting a substantial part exclusively to non-religious content. Ashley the translator executed further changes of his own in order to render the present work more attractive to Protestant business interests-most notably by omitting the part where Borri testified to the struggle and success of his Jesuit missions particularly the conversion of Pulucambi province. The translation also cheerfully elides two disastrous episodes in recent European trade with Cochin-China: the 1601 massacre of 23 members of an envoy from the VOC and a similar massacre in 1613 of the crew of an English trading vessel. This attempt to coax England's notoriously skittish merchants into commerce with Cochin-China is also borne out by Ashley's choice of dedicatee: Maurice Abbot the newly-elected governor of the British East India Company. According to Pollard and Redgrave the work's last signature is in 3 rather than 4 because the unsigned title-page was printed as the 4th and final leaf.Cristoforo Borri 1583-1632 a Milanese astronomer lived in Cochin-China from 1617-1622 where he learned enough of the language to hear confession. By 1633 two years after its first appearance his Relatione had been translated into French German Dutch and English.

197247693N.p.: Artists' and Writers' Protest / Colorcraft Inc 1972. First Edition. Original photographic poster offset printed in colors on white stock measuring 96.5cm x 63.5cm ca.38" x 25". Some minor handling trivial wear to extremities else very Near Fine / A unbacked. One of the most gruesome and effective pieces of propaganda to emerge during the Vietnam War reproducing a photograph taken during the My Lai Massacre by U.S. Army photographer Sgt. Ronald L. Haeberle. This and other iconic photos were taken by Haeberle on March 16 1968 using his personal camera while assigned to follow Charlie Company into My Lai. Unlike the monochrome images which he returned to the Army shot with a standard-issue Army camera the color images he shot with his personal camera were brought back to the States and sold to Life magazine after Haeberle was honorably discharged. The photos were printed in the December 5 1969 issue of Life offering Americans a harrowing glimpse into some of the attrocities being committed overseas; his caption beneath this image read: "Most were women and babies. It looked as if they tried to get away." The poster was designed by members of the Art Workers Coalition and initially released in 1969 using the identical image with the overlaid text reading: "Q: And babies A: And babies." This version published four years later intentionally subverts Richard Nixon's campaign slogan "Four More Years" forcing Americans to ask whether or not they wanted Nixon for another term and by extention another four years embroiled in foreign conflict.

197083515New York: Art Workers Coalition 1970. Offset lithograph in colors; 64cm x 97cm 25" x 38". Mild creasing to extremities else a fine clean copy; unbacked. This one of a presumably small number of copies bearing a rubber-stamped message which reads: "This poster was originally co-sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art. On Dec. 19 trustee William S. Paley forbid the Museum to associate its name with this poster. Do the Trustees approve of the massacre" stamped twice in the image lower right. <br /> <br /> One of the true icons of Twentieth Century American protest art this poster created by the Art Workers Coalition under the guidance of Fraze Dougherty Jon Hendricks and Irving Petlin was issued to bring attention to the horrendous My Lai massacre of March 1968. The photograph by Ron Haeberle originally appeared in Life Magazine. The Museum of Modern Art had originally promised to underwrite the poster's creation and to donate paper and printing costs - but later abandoned the project under the objections of board President William S. Paley. The AWC still managed to print fifty thousand copies which they distributed for free. As a response to MoMA's backing out of the project an unknown number of the posters were rubber-stamped with the message quoted above and a demonstration was held inside the museum in front of Picasso's Guernica where copies of the poster were unfurled and given away. These events are recorded in a 2015 interview with co-creator John Hendricks: ".We had a big meeting of Art Workers' Coalition about how we should address their MoMA's reneging of the agreement with us. It was decided to make a rubber stamp.saying "This is the poster that the Museum of Modern Art agreed to do jointly with Art Workers' Coalition and Bill Paley and Arthur Drexler refused to do" or something like that. So we stamped as many posters as we could with that stamp. Then we had a number of demonstrations in front of the museum and inside in front of Guernica." interview with William Twersky WT_History Blog April 2015. We have traced no copies in commerce or institutional collections that make note of the rubber-stamped notice. In 1972 the design was repurposed to protest President Richard Nixon's campaign for a second term; for that version the motto was changed to "Four More Years Four More Years" 83515.

1950186871950. Barber Command Sergeant Major. U.S. Army 17th Field Artillery Battalion photographs circa 1960s to 1970s document integrated military training and the advancement of an African American senior noncommissioned officer within the post-desegregation Army. The images center on activities at a Noncommissioned Officer Academy and within field environments placing the archive within the period following the formal integration of the U.S. military and during the era of the Vietnam War. The repeated presence of Barber in both instructional and ceremonial contexts situates him within the upper ranks of enlisted leadership documenting the visibility and authority of Black noncommissioned officers at a time when opportunities for advancement had only recently expanded following mid-twentieth-century reforms.<br /> <br /> Archive of 30 black and white silver gelatin photographs. United States circa 1960s to 1970s. Photographs range in size from approximately 7 x 5 inches to 4 x 3 inches. Images depict integrated groups of soldiers within the 17th Field Artillery Battalion known as "The Persuaders" engaged in training and daily activities. Scenes include artillery instruction trench digging weapons handling camp life chapel gatherings and a graduation ceremony in which soldiers take an oath and pass a unit flag. Several photographs show Barber prominently including moments that appear to document formal oath-taking or advancement within the noncommissioned officer structure. The photographs appear to have been taken across multiple locations including a more rugged field setting and a separate academy environment.<br /> <br /> Following the desegregation of the U.S. armed forces in 1948 African American soldiers increasingly assumed leadership roles within enlisted ranks particularly during the Cold War and Vietnam War periods. The position of Command Sergeant Major represents one of the highest enlisted leadership roles in the Army responsible for discipline training and the welfare of soldiers. This archive provides visual evidence of integrated unit cohesion professional training systems and the presence of Black leadership within those structures. The combination of field exercises and formal ceremonies offers material for examining race hierarchy and institutional culture within the modern U.S. Army. Light wear consistent with handling; overall very good condition. unknown
