196562872Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill 1965. First Edition. First Printing. 8vo. 22cm x 14.5cm. Publisher's pale green embossed cloth. Dustjacket. Titled in dark brown and red to spine and front board with an embossed flame design in blind to front board. Clean and strong with some light bumping to the spine ends in bright pictorial dustjacket with some fraying and scuffing to the spine ends a very good. clean copy indeed. 284pp. Internally clean. With 17pp. of photographs to the middle of the book taken by the author including a sequence of images of the Buddhist monk Thich Quang Duc self immolating in Saigon on June 11th 1963 the capturing of which event gained Browne lasting recognition and won him a Pulitzer. Another rather more significant effect of Browne's photograph is that by the morning of June 12th John F. Kennedy had the photograph on his desk pointed at it and bluntly told US Ambassador to Vietnam Henry Cabot Lodge who contributed the preface to this book "This sort of thing has got to stop." Whilst that might sound like a relatively mild response to the suicide by fire of a respected holy man it effectively signalled the end of US support for the Ngo Dinh Diem regime and changed the course of the next ten years of conflict and upheaval.

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.

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
197262808Boston: Beacon Press 1972. First Revised Edition. 4to. 28cm x 22cm. Publisher's red pictorial card covers. Minor creasing and soiling most visibly to the lower corner of the front cover price discreetly excised with a hole punch to the upper front corner. Clean and sharp a very good copy. 289pp. Internally clean. A very highly detailed and in-depth assessment of the resources manpower and costs in play during the air war component of the war in Vietnam with a particular focus upon the intangible nature of that conflict to the average American. An air war is distant and notionally inaccessible to the general public is the general argument of the work which was compiled initially in a smaller report in November 1971 then expanded upon by the Anti-War Study group at Cornell University and a wider body of contributors including Rapahel Littauer Saha Amarasingham Chandler Morse Norman Uphoff and Carl Sagan amongst a number of others assessing the impact upon economies ecologies diverse human populations neighbouring nations and the potential continuing and more widespread effects that would be expected to spiral outwards should the aerial campaign continue at contemporary levels. One of the primary thrusts of the research is that Nixon's government used the execution of a massive and sustained aerial campaign to push forward initiatives they would not otherwise have been permitted to pursue for various physical economic and humanitarian reasons. One of many sobering points put across throughout the course of the study is that by the time of publication the US had dropped more bombs on Vietname than were dropped on Europe during the entirety of WW2.

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

An astonishing effort for a civilian with no military experience and one with more than its share of challenges; Caldwell's attendance upon wounded GI's was accompanied by a cloud of Shalimar perfume; which the soldiers even the ones who couldn't see quickly figured out meant that they weren't doing so well prompting one man she was attempting to comfort to groan: "Oh no I can smell her.
