197062822Vermont: Charles E. Tuttle Company 1970. First Edition. First Printing. 8vo. 21cm x 15cm. Publisher's orange illustrated card covers lightly faded to the spine clean bright and attractive. A very good copy. 127pp. Internally clean. A follow on publication from Waterhouse's very popular first "Vietnam Sketchbook; Drawings from Delta to DMZ". Colonel Charles H. Waterhouse USMC Ret. who fought and was wounded at Iwo Jima became an official civilian War Combat Artist for the US Navy in Vietnam before going on to become the US marine Corps first Artist in Residence until the 1990's. His candid on the ground and occasionally in the air portraits of of Navy and USMC personnel going about their duties amidst the civilian population were very popular and seem to have partly contributed to a definitive artisitic "Aesthetic of Vietnam" an instantly recognisable style of war art that is all but accompanied by a smell and a soundtrack.

1970190661970. U.S. Army Engineer Company photo album early 1970s documents logistical operations base life and personnel composition at Oakland Army Base during the Vietnam War providing visual evidence of military transportation infrastructure and the integration of a diverse workforce within a key Pacific transit hub. The material records the functioning of an engineer unit responsible for vehicle maintenance cargo handling and operational readiness while also capturing the presence of African American servicemen and female personnel within the same working and ceremonial environments. It supports research into military logistics on the U.S. home front race and gender integration in the armed forces and the institutional processes that sustained overseas deployment during the Vietnam War.<br /> <br /> Album containing 369 photographs including 353 color and 16 black and white images most measuring approximately 5 x 3.5 inches compiled at Oakland Army Base and the adjacent Port of Oakland. The contents document heavy machinery and vehicle maintenance including bulldozers cranes transport trucks and military jeeps with numerous images showing mechanics engaged in repair work. Additional photographs depict combat training exercises including rifle instruction with M16 firearms alongside formal ceremonies in which soldiers of varied racial backgrounds and both genders receive promotions commendations and instruction from commanding officers. Several images show administrative office environments providing insight into the clerical and organizational functions supporting base operations. Group scenes include family-oriented gatherings and meals indicating the social dimension of service life within the base setting. Produced at a time when Oakland Army Base operated as a principal embarkation and return point for U.S. forces traveling to and from Vietnam and other locations in East Asia the album documents the domestic infrastructure underpinning overseas military engagement. The emphasis on machinery cargo movement and personnel readiness reflects the scale and complexity of logistical coordination required during the conflict. The visible diversity within the unit corresponds with broader transformations in the U.S. military following desegregation and evolving roles for women making the album relevant to studies of institutional change during the late stages of the Vietnam War. Light wear to album edges and corners photographs well-preserved with minor handling marks; overall very good. A substantial visual record of engineer operations and base life at a critical West Coast military installation during wartime. unknown
1960210781960. Vietnam War Photography Personal photograph album containing 17 silver gelatin photographs documenting civilian life education family and military service in South Vietnam during the 1960s. Original brown vinyl album measuring approximately 3.5" x 4.5"; photographs approximately 2.5" x 3.25".<br /> <br /> The album offers an intimate glimpse into the everyday experiences of South Vietnamese men and women during a period more often documented through the lens of war. Rather than combat scenes the photographs focus primarily on family friendship education courtship and community life creating a personal record of a society navigating rapid social change amid the conflict. Several photographs depict young Vietnamese women wearing traditional áo dài dresses both in formal portraits and informal outdoor settings. One particularly attractive image shows three smiling women walking along a path in patterned áo dài framed by a mixture of traditional and modern architecture. Another studio portrait captures a young woman posed alone and smiling toward the camera suggesting a family member friend or perhaps the album owner's sweetheart.<br /> <br /> Education and youth culture are prominently represented. Multiple photographs show school-aged girls gathered in classrooms and assembled outdoors in large group portraits. The students wear white áo dài and traditional conical hats illustrating the continued importance of educational institutions and cultural traditions during the war years. Several candid classroom scenes preserve moments of ordinary student life rarely encountered in wartime photographic archives. The album also documents changing fashions and modernization in South Vietnam. Young men and women appear in contemporary 1960s clothing posing in parks forests and rural landscapes. One photograph shows a young Vietnamese man seated proudly atop a large tractor reflecting the agricultural modernization efforts underway throughout much of South Vietnam during the period.<br /> <br /> Military service appears in several images. One photograph depicts a South Vietnamese serviceman standing beside an automobile with military vehicles visible in the background suggesting that the album may have belonged to a soldier or military family. Unlike official military photographs however the image emphasizes personal identity rather than military operations reinforcing the album's character as a private keepsake rather than a wartime record. Additional photographs show fishing boats riverside scenes rural landscapes and groups of family members and friends creating a portrait of everyday life that existed alongside the broader conflict. Together the photographs reveal the coexistence of tradition and modernity documenting a generation of South Vietnamese men and women whose lives were shaped by both enduring cultural customs and the upheavals of the Vietnam War era. Photographs appear to have been removed from a larger album at some point with remnants of mounting paper and adhesive visible on versos. Minor wear and handling marks; overall very good condition. A compelling personal archive documenting civilian life education culture and military service in South Vietnam during the 1960s. unknown

199262845New York: Random House 1992. Uncorrected Proof. 8vo. 24cm x 15.5cm. Publisher's printed card wraps some scuffing to the laminate here and there but otherwise a near fine copy. 402pp. Internally clean. Black and white charts and diagrams to prelims. A calm informed nothing held back account of one the most influential battles of the early stages of the Vietnam conflict. Moore and Galloway both present for the events of the book Moore in command and Galloway as a correspondent recount step by step the progress of the battle; the first major engagement of the war the first to extensively use helicopters to drop troops and equipment into battle and the first engagment to utilise B-25 bombers as air support. Galloway describes Ia Drang as "The battle that convinced Ho Chi Minh he could win." although that had little to do with the fighting ability of the 7th Cavalry and more to do with the swift tactics lessons the battle offered and the realisation that the US could take but not hold fight but not pursue and they could destroy but only what was on the surface. It changed the course of the conflict for both sides and took many prior strategic techniques back to the drawing board. Uncorrected proofs of this title are quite scarce. Random House unknown
199228678New York:: Random House 1992. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright clipped dust jacket. On Nov. 14 1965 the 1st Battalion of the 7th Cavalry commanded by Lt. Col. Moore and accompanied by UPI reporter Galloway helicoptered into Vietnam's remote Ia Drang Valley and found itself surrounded by a numerically superior force of North Vietnamese regulars. Moore and Galloway here offer a detailed account based on interviews with participants and on their own recollections of what happened during the four-day battle. Much more than a conventional battle study the book is a frank record of the emotional reactions of the GIs to the terror and horror of this violent and bloody encounter. Both sides claimed victory the U.S. calling it a validation of the newly developed doctrine of airmobile warfare. Supplemented with maps the memoir is a vivid re-creation of the first major ground battle of the Vietnam War. Photos. Random House, unknown
