198627907Novato:: Presidio 1986. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine copy in aVery Good plus dust jacket with light sunning to the spine. 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, hardcover

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.

Titled in silver gilt to spine clean and sharp in a strong and bright example of the dustjacket slight scuffing and edgewear. A near fine copy. 214pp. Internally clean. 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

39051201Nanning 1971 Ren Min Chu Ban She. Red & yellow pictorial wrappers very good 47p. Chinese text stapled 1.8 x 17.9 cm. contents clear solid example. RARE FIRST EDITION . . .WITH A LOVELY QUOTE ON THE FRONTISPIECE FROM CHAIRMAN MAO: . . . "The peoples of the whole world unite to defeat U.S. . . Imperialism and all its lackeys." . The front covers shows an enthusiastic Vietnamese youthful group of three North Vietnam Army NVA soldiers or Vietcong VC shooting a machine gun in the air presumably at U.S. Air Force aircraft. The three wear green army style uniforms and belts. . A part of the text reads we liberally translate: . "Who in the world is afraid of whom now It is not the Vietnamese people the Lao people the Cambodian people the Palestinian people the Arab people and the peoples of the world who are afraid of U.S. imperialism but that U.S. imperialism is afraid of the peoples of the world and panics whenever the wind blows. . Weak countries can defeat strong countries and small countries can defeat large countries. As long as the people of small countries dare to rise up and struggle dare to take up arms and take charge of the destiny of their own countries they will certainly be able to defeat the aggression of the big powers. . As long as the people are fully mobilized resolutely rely on the people and wage a people's war any powerful enemy can be defeated. . 700 million Chinese people are the strong backing of the Vietnamese people The vast Chinese territory is a reliable rear for the Vietnamese people." . This was written in 1971 it is interesting to see by that in early 1979 China was at war with Vietnam ! In the end the Vietnamese proved that a small nation can truly defeat a large nation like China ! It was China that was badly beaten by the Vietnamese ! Is that what Mao had in mind when the above was written . SINO-VIETNAMESE WAR OF 1979 Per Wikipedia: . The Sino-Vietnamese War was a border war fought between China and Vietnam in early 1979. China launched an offensive in response to Vietnam's actions against the Khmer Rouge in 1978 which ended the rule of the Chinese-backed Khmer Rouge. Both China and Vietnam claimed victory in the last of the Indochina Wars. . Chinese forces invaded northern Vietnam and captured several cities near the border. On 6 March 1979 China declared that the gate to Hanoi was open and that their punitive mission had been achieved. Chinese troops then withdrew from Vietnam. As Vietnamese troops remained in Cambodia until 1989 China was unsuccessful in its goal of dissuading Vietnam from involvement in Cambodia. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 the Sino-Vietnamese border was finalized. Although unable to deter Vietnam from ousting Pol Pot from Cambodia China demonstrated that its Cold War communist adversary the Soviet Union was unable to protect its Vietnamese ally. .
