Unpaginated by 32 pages plus covers. Decorative cover.with some color. Illustrations Maps color. This contemporary propaganda material is ephemeral and relatively few copies have survived in private hands in the more than four decades since it was published. From Wikipedia: "South Vietnam officially the Republic of Vietnam was a state which governed southern Vietnam until 1975. It received international recognition in 1949 as the "State of Vietnam" 1949-55 and later as the "Republic of Vietnam" 1955-75. The term "South Vietnam" became common usage in 1954. South Vietnam's origins can be traced to the French colony of Cochinchina a subdivision of French Indochina. After World War II the Vietminh led by Ho Chi Minh proclaimed the establishment of a Communist nation in Hanoi. In 1949 non-communist Vietnamese politicians formed a rival government in Saigon led by former emperor Bao Dai. Bao Dai was deposed by Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem in 1955 who proclaimed himself president after a referendum. After Diem was deposed in a military coup in 1963 there was a series of military governments. General Nguyen Van Thieu led the country from 1967 until 1975. The Vietnam War began in 1959 with an uprising by Viet Cong forces. Fighting climaxed during the Tet Offensive of 1968 when there were over 1.5 million South Vietnamese soldiers and 500000 U.S. soldiers in South Vietnam. Despite a peace treaty concluded in January 1973 fighting continued until the North Vietnamese army overran Saigon on 30 April 1975." This document from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was aimed as the English-speaking audience was was aimed at rallying support against the North Vietnamese onslaught. Had it not been for the U.S. Air Force and Navy the Vietnam War might have ended in the spring of 1972 with North Vietnamese tanks in the streets of Saigon. On March 29 1972 fourteen North Vietnamese divisions backed by more than three hundred tanks crossed the Demilitarized Zone into South Vietnam. It was an assault every bit as ferocious as the Tet Offensive in 1969 and perhaps even more so: where Tet had been an uprising by Viet Cong guerrillas backed by regular North Vietnamese troops the Easter Offensive of 1972 was a blitzkrieg a conventional mechanized assault by troops well-equipped with armor artillery and antiaircraft weapons. Several North Vietnamese Army or NVA divisions crossed the DMZ into the northern tip of South Vietnam. Other forces struck from their bases in ostensibly neutral Cambodia into the southwest part of South Vietnam perilously close to Saigon. Unlike Tet the South Vietnamese army or ARVN would not have U.S. ground troops fighting beside them or instead of them. American advisers could assist the South Vietnamese but with America in the midst of withdrawing its ground troops and the American public tired of casualties ground combat units would not be committed to the battlefield. The ARVN would have to fight its own battle. The key northern border town of Quang Tri fell and the NVA advanced to the gates to the vital city of Hue. The ARVN and South Vietnam were in trouble. Then salvation came from the skies. Airpower had always been a key factor—actually the key factor—factor in America's favor during the war in Indochina. But this time it was the only politically feasible means by which the United States could aid South Vietnam in 1972. By that time the American air fleet in Southeast Asia had dwindled to about eight hundred combat aircraft in Vietnam and Thailand including two U.S. Navy carrier air wings. Illustrating the flexibility of airpower by the end of May an additional four hundred Air Force fighters had arrived plus four more carriers. Most significantly the aerial armada included more than two hundred B-52s. Ministry of Foreign Affairs paperback

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

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.

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.
