Cover has some wear and soiling. From Wikipedia: "The Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam or PRG was formed on June 8 1969 as an underground government opposed to the South Vietnamese government of President Nguyen Van Thieu. Delegates of the National Liberation Front the Vietcong as well as several smaller groups participated in its creation. The PRG was recognized as the government of South Vietnam by most communist states. It agreed to the 1973 Paris Peace Treaty as a separate party. It became the provisional government of South Vietnam following the military defeat of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam on April 30 1975. On July 2 1976 the PRG and North Vietnam merged to form the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.Predating the PRG was the Alliance of National Democratic and Peace Forces made up of anti-government forces and headed by Trinh Dinh Thao. The Alliance were a collection of individuals who wanted a new South Vietnamese Government but disagreed with the ever present Northern Communist presence. There had been talk of setting up an Alliance as early as 1966 but the South Vietnamese Intelligence had arrested an anti-government organizer Ba Tra. Ba Tra gave the South Vietnamese government extensive information on anti-government forces working in the city. This setback was compounded by his identification of one of the key cadre in the financial division. Under torture Ba Tra identified more figures in the underground. These were then rounded up. By 1967 the entire Saigon organization had been sent further underground. The Tet Offensive during 1968 triggered a wave of oppression forcing many people into the jungle. These people businessmen middle class doctors and other professionals started The Alliance. The then-new American president Richard Nixon started a process of Vietnamization to allow the American to withdraw from Vietnam. One of the tenets of Vietnamization was responsible government in South Vietnam. To prevent the Americans from installing their own government a conference was held on June 6 8 1969 off Route 22 in Cambodia's Fishhook area. The Alliance as well as other groups met and formed the Provisional Revolutionary Government on June 8 1969. According to Justice Minister Truong Nhu Trang the new group's main purpose was to help the Vietcong "acquire a new international stature." There were delegates from the NLF the Alliance of National Democratic and Peace Forces the People's Revolutionary Party the South Vietnamese communist party and "the usual assortment of mass organizations ethnic groups and geopolitical regions." "South Vietnam is independent democratic peaceful and neutral" according to one banner displayed prominently at the convention. The PRG reflected a number of nationalist anti-imperialist and communist political viewpoints including those of the Vietnam Workers Party the North Vietnamese communist party. Following the military and political results of the 1968 Tet Offensive and related military offensives in the South in which the Vietcong suffered serious military losses the PRG was envisioned as a political counter-force that could influence international public opinion in support of national independence and in opposition to the United States and the Republic of Vietnam. The declared purpose of the PRG was to provide a formal NLF governmental structure and enhance its claim of representing "the Southern people". Included in this strategy was the pursuit of a negotiated settlement to the war leading to reunification organized during the initial phase of Vietnamization. During the period 1969-1970 most of the PRG's cabinet ministries operated near the Cambodia border. Starting on March 29 to late April 1970 the South Vietnamese army and Cambodian government forced the PRG to flee deep into Cambodia. The stressful escape caused many of the PRG officials such as Truong Nhu Tạ ng to need extensive medical furloughs. Giai Phong Editions paperback

19677771New York: Pocket Books 1967. First Paperback Edition. Original wraps. Very Good. 4 1/4 X 7 Inches. 262 PP. "The doom Pussy was the first book on Vietnam to chronicle aerial combat. Among the truckloads of fan mail the author received were scores of letters from veteran pilots who claimed they had carried the book as their "bible" on the conflict." - Ben Shephard<br /> <br /> First paperback printing released the same year as the hardcover edition. Elaine Shepard began her career in Hollywood as an actress under contract with R.K.O. pictures. She starred in numerous films but eventually left acting in favor of journalism. The latter career took her around the world and to Vietnam in 1966 and 1967. She was quite the "Renaissance Woman" and excelled in the field of jounalism normally ruled by men at the time. A very early Vietnam War era novel that predates much of the ground war that would later consume the world. Some wear to edges and spine. A few faint spots. A very scarce book in commerce.

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.

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
