196662733New York: Frederick Fell 1966. First Edition. First Printing. Special Limited Edition number of copies unknown. 8vo. 21cm x 14cm. Publisher's full black leather titled in gilt to spine with decorative gilt ruling to the front board. Clean and handsome. In a black cloth slipcase duplicating the design of the dustjacket for the trade edition. Inscribed on an inserted handmade paper limitation page with some a rather lavish gold ink limitation statement by the author and his wife:<br /> "Mimi and Marguerite with the deep love and affection of The Kruegers Dec. 4 1966 Carl Krueger Ida Krueger"<br /> Billed as "The First Novel of The Vietnam War" and definitely early although according to Newman's bibliographical survey of Vietnam War fiction this rather showy and gung ho novel ranks as the 12th published novel although only 3 novels were published in 1965 whilst the next 25 or so all made na appearance in 1966. This limited presentation issue of the first edition seems completely unknown. Krueger was a decidedly old school author and screenwriter from the post WW2 adventure cinema genre he has writing credits on "Comanche" and "Sabre Jet" both scorching technicolour action movies. He produced the Wyler/Sturges wartime propaganda documentary "Thunderbolt" in 1944 and seems to have had a leaning towards spectacular aircraft movies where the machines occupied as much if not more screen time as the human actors. That certainly seems to have been the intention here it's very aircraft heavyobsessed with the Phantom II and the Vietnamese characters are portrayed as either Machiavellian or offensively stupid. The trade edition dustwrapper bears the statement: "Mr Krueger will personally produce Wings of The Tiger as the greatest air spectacle ever filmed." As far as can be established Mr. Krueger did not. Regardless of anything else it's an interesting illustration of the fact that going into Vietnam with a WW2 mindset was not something exclusively limited to armchair strategists and DC pundits it was also prevalent among those writing and filming accounts of the conflict.

197380718Philadelphia: American Friends Service Committee N.d. 1973-74. Poster. Offset lithograph; 22" x 17" printed in two colors on newsprint. Horizontal and vertical fold-lines; mild toning to paperstock; Very Good B. A.F.S.C. imprint lower left; printer's bug lower right. Dated from context. <br /> <br /> An anti-Thieu poster from the final two years of the Vietnam War produced after the main body of American troops had left Indochina and before the fall of Saigon. The poster calls for the defunding of President Thieu's repressive regime in South Vietnam accusing him of building a police state while at the same time enabling the heroin trade carried on by his lieutenants. Quite ephemeral and in very nice condition. American Friends Service Committee 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
