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

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
