Announces establishment by the UCSD Art Department in conjunction with chancellor William McGill of the "George Winne Memorial Shrine.taking George's charred remains as its core the Shrine will seek to involve and encompass the entire campus.Passive Resistance can only have effect under conditions of complete self-sacrifice.

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
196562872Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill 1965. First Edition. First Printing. 8vo. 22cm x 14.5cm. Publisher's pale green embossed cloth. Dustjacket. 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.

199028356Toronto:: McClelland and Stewart 1990. First Printing of the First Canadian Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. While this collection of stories involving a single platoon in Vietnam is referred to as a work of fiction it is difficult to determine where the line between fact and imagination begins and ends. "The Things They Carried" is considered one of the two best portrayals of the war experience in Vietnam along with Michael Herr's "Dispatches." "Things" is simply a tour-de-force of exquisite writing about the time the place and the men who experienced that particular conflict. If you were going to read only one book dealing with the Vietnam War experience"The Things They Carried" should be that book. McClelland and Stewart, unknown
