‎Vietnam War; Indigenous Peoples‎

‎Early Vietnam War Era Indigenous Communities and Street Life in South Vietnam 1950s-60s‎

‎1950. Vietnam photographs of Indigenous highland communities urban street life and Western contact likely made in the 1950s or early 1960s before the large-scale arrival of American combat troops in 1965. The group belongs most plausibly to the early U.S. advisory period when American personnel were present in Vietnam from 1950 and increasingly active in South Vietnam after 1955 but still long before the main combat escalation of the war. The juxtaposition of images highlight both upland Indigenous people posed in village or forest-edge settings and small urban views of southern Vietnam in which colonial architecture animal-drawn transport fishing labor and everyday street movement remain visible within the late French and early postcolonial landscape.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 11 silver gelatin photographs each 2.25" x 3" Vietnam likely South Vietnam circa 1950s to early 1960s. Several photographs show Indigenous men women and children standing in open grass or along wooded edges wearing wrapped garments bead necklaces and basketry or carrying poles with one image showing women beside woven baskets in shallow water and another showing a figure working in dense vegetation. Exact ethnic identification is not secure from the photographs alone but the upland dress body adornment and basket forms are consistent with communities from Vietnam's Central Highlands or adjacent southern uplands possibly Jarai Ede or Rhade Bahnar Mnong or Stieng all part of the broader grouping often described in French and later English sources as Montagnard or Degar peoples. Other photographs turn to city and urban scenes with one image showing two women fishing another of a man in an ox-drawn carriage a zoo setting with large cats behind fencing and a formal boulevard view centered on a French colonial civic building that is likely the Saigon Municipal Theatre. The city scenes also fit Saigon where the long-established Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens opened to the public in 1869 formed part of the colonial urban core.<br /> <br /> The posed views of Indigenous highland people and the street scenes of fishermen cart drivers and city residents preserve the way local communities entered the visual record of American presence as subjects observed approached and documented by outsiders attached to the expanding U.S. role in South Vietnam during the 1950s and early 1960s. Light surface wear and minor corner and edge wear; overall very good condition. The combination of Saigon views with photographs of Indigenous upland communities gives the group particular force as a compact record of pre-combat American encounter in southern Vietnam. unknown‎

‎VIETNAM WAR - NIXON, Richard M‎

‎Republic of Vietnam and United States Proposal for a Negotiated Settlement of the Indochina Conflict.‎

‎Washington DC: The White House 25 January 1972. There will be a total withdrawal from South Vietnam of all U.S. forces The White House press release issued to coincide with Nixon's 25 January 1972 address to the nation in which he revealed that Kissinger was negotiating with the North Vietnamese. This copy has the ownership signature of Clark MacGregor 1922-2003 a senior aide in the Nixon White House. Nixon's speech affirmed America's willingness to withdraw all of its forces within six months of any agreement release POWS and not interfere in free and fair elections in South Vietnam. "The President did not mention that he was proposing a cease-fire-in-place that would leave North Vietnamese troops occupying and governing South Vietnamese territory. Nor did he mention what Kissinger had told Chinese premiere Zhou Enlai at their first meeting: 'If the South Vietnamese government is as unpopular as you seem to think then the quicker our forces are withdrawn the quicker it will be overthrown. And if it is overthrown after we withdraw we will not intervene'" Hughes. Before serving in the White House MacGregor spent a decade in Congress. In 1972 he took over from John Mitchell as head of Nixon's re-election campaign. 2 xeroxed leaves 355 x 220 mm each printed one side only. Old horizontal creases light toning: very good.

‎ANNOTATED VERNACULAR PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM CAPTURING SCENES IN HONG KONG SAIGON AND PAGO PAGO EARLY IN THE VIETNAM WAR‎

‎Hong Kong Saigon Da Nang Pago Pago and other places 1963. Eighty-seven photographs most in color most about 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches including twelve slightly larger photographs laid in. Narrow quarto. Photograph album of black textured cloth gilt label on front board. Photographs in generally nice condition. Very good. An interesting collection of color and black- and-white vernacular photographs taken by an unidentified Navy Midshipman or Marine serving in southeast Asia in the early years of American involvement in Vietnam. Twenty- four images are captioned on the verso often identifying the time and place of the photographs some of which were taken on ship and others on the ground. The majority of the photographs emanate from 1963 either from the caption or a date stamp in the margin of the photographs. They feature street scenes and various buildings in Hong Kong and Vietnam views from the serviceman's ship shots of servicemen gathered in the mess hall views of fishing and various buildings in Pago Pago and more. <br> <br> The captions provide a good cross-section of the nature of the photographs a sampling of which read: "President Diems & Madame Nhus Palace being constructed - They were working on it when I came Feb 1963 August"; "Boulevard going towards Saigon August 63"; "Boats at river front Saigon August 63"; "Company Area V.T.T. Heli. Co. August 1963"; "Da Nang - S. Viet Nam"; "Chinese painting the ship - this is in Hong Kong"; "Bura boat alongside the ship selling goods in Hong Kong"; "One of the boats people live on in Hong Kong.

Sanctuary an officer named "Hamilton" and two shots of a young man onboard the ship who might be the compiler of the present album. <br> <br> A nice collection of early Vietnam War vernacular photography with useful annotations. hardcover books‎

‎LES VRAIS ET LES FAUX SECRETS DU PENTAGONE "The True and False Secrets of the Pentagon"‎

‎Hanoi: Le Courrier du Viet Nam 1971. First Edition. Wraps. Very good. Small 8vo. Original wraps. Covers a little worn with some soil. Slight lean. Toning overall. Still sound. Very good. Text in French. 138pp. <br/><br/>Scarce North Vietnam propoganda published in the wake of the release of the Pentagon Papers. Coming the same year as Daniel Ellsberg's leak which was published in June of that year this represents an early and possible first official response to the revelations contained therein. From the introduction: "It is repugnant for honest people to believe that the government of a country with the reputation of the United States had for many years premeditated prepared and planned down to the most minute details a systematic aggression a criminal war of genocide against a small people a tiny country situated more than 10000 kilometers from AmericaÂ’s frontiers; to think that this government for many years has deliberately and knowingly lied to cover up the crime to hide its plans and deceive the American people the US Congress and AmericaÂ’s allies as well as its friends and supporters throughout the world" translated from the French. The nine-page introduction is followed by a "documents" section the bulk of the book which in addition to excerpts from the Pentagon Papers also contains Presidential speeches Kennedy Johnson interspersed with North Vietnamese statements and commentary. Though OCLC some two dozen copies worldwide only four of those are in the US Harvard Yale Cornell and Columbia with none currently in trade as of April 2017. A significant and uncommon work of Communist propoganda from the height of the Cold War and the Vietnam conflict. Le Courrier du Viet Nam paperback books‎

‎The Pentagon Papers: William Bundy's Annotated Copy‎

‎<p>William Bundy's 5-volume set of the <i>"Senator Gravel Edition"</i> of the <i>Pentagon Papers</i> with annotations marginal notes and two legal-size pages with handwritten notes arranged chronologically.</p> <b>VIETNAM WAR.</b>Books. <i>The Pentagon Papers</i>. Boston: Beacon Press 1971-1972. First Editions. Five paperback books volumes I-IV in green printed covers volume V in orange. 5¾ x 9 inches each. Pages varies by volume. Volume V <i>Critical Essays</i> edited by Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn has a Beacon Press review copy slip taped to the half-title and an address label paperclipped to the same page. The label is addressed to Bundy as editor of <i>Foreign Affairs</i> and has a handwritten date <i>"9/25/72."</i><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Defense Secretary Robert McNamara commissioned a massive study later called the <i>Pentagon Papers</i> in 1967 and appointed Pentagon arms control director Leslie Gelb as the project's supervisor. Gelb hired 36 military officers civilian policy experts and historians to write the study's monographs. The <i>Pentagon Papers</i>included 4000 pages of actual documents from the years 1945–67. Daniel Ellsberg with the aid of his friend Anthony Russo leaked most of the <i>Pentagon Papers</i> to <i>New York Times</i>reporter Neil Sheehan who began publishing excerpts on June 13 1971. Ellsberg later said that the documents "demonstrated unconstitutional behavior by a succession of presidents the violation of their oath and the violation of the oath of every one of their subordinates." Portions of the "Papers" were subsequently published by Beacon Press. The present copy is William Bundy's set of that edition.</p><p>The <i>Pentagon Papers</i> revealed steps the Johnson and Nixon administrations had taken to escalate the war in Vietnam without informing the public. President Nixon argued that Ellsberg was guilty of felony treason under the 1917 Espionage Act because he had no authority to publish classified documents. Though the <i>Times</i> had been advised not to publish they did so claiming the First Amendment right to publish information essential to citizens' understanding of their government. Nixon's Attorney General John Mitchell obtained a federal court injunction forcing the <i>Times</i> to cease publication. After the <i>Times</i> appealed the case reached the Supreme Court. A separate case involving the <i>Washington Post's</i>publication of articles based on Ellsberg's leaks also reached the highest court. In June 1971 the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the injunctions were unconstitutional. As Senator Mike Gravel writes in the introduction "We were told that we had to fight on the continent of Asia so that we would not have to battle on the shores of America. One can accept these arguments only if he has failed to read the Pentagon Papers."</p><p><b>William Putnam Bundy</b> 1917-2000 graduated from Yale University and worked as an analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency in the 1950s. He had a long distinguished service government in the CIA and in the Defense Department. He was appointed Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs in March 1964. His brother McGeorge Bundy was Special Assistant for National Security Affairs to Kennedy and Johnson from 1961-1966. Both are considered primary architects of America's involvement in Vietnam. In <i>The Best and the Brightest</i> David Halberstam stated that during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations William Bundy's name "would probably be on more pieces of paper dealing with Vietnam over a seven-year period than anyone else's." The publication of <i>The Pentagon Papers</i> represented something of a personal defeat for Bundy who at the time had a 1100-page unfinished manuscript in which he selectively paraphrased from classified papers in his possession. The manuscript was rendered unpublishable by the appearance of these volumes.</p><p><b>McGeorge Bundy</b> 1919-1996 brother of William Bundy was one of President Kennedy's closest advisors on national security and he continued to fill that role for President Johnson during the period of escalation of the Vietnam War. He left government service in 1966 to head the Ford Foundation and then returned to university teaching and writing in 1979.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Very Good.

‎Farewell Darkness: A Veteran's Triumph over Combat Trauma‎

‎Naval Institute Press 1994. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. First edition. 1/4 inch tear to jacket corner owner bookplate with name inked out on front endpaper. 1994 Hard Cover. xiv 344 pp. 8vo. From the jacket: ''I want to give something back' the author insisted. His counselor at the Vet Center suggested 'You can give the guys in treatment hope. You know what PTSD looks like from both sides. You can tell these guys what it's like and what's different when you get beyond it.' Ron Zaczek had been a good crewchief. He was 'Zack' then: Marine Observation Squadron Three '66-'68; Phu Bai Dong Ha Khe Sanh; 393 missions in Huey medevacs and gunships; 19 Air Medals and a Bronze Star. He'd succeeded in college and in industry. Good marriage two fine kids. Then things began to fall apart. Too much anger depression. Thoughts of suicide. So many missions of mercy and death returning in nightmare and flashback out of control: 'You gotta get us out Scarface. We're burning up!' Marine crewchiefs never lost control! Control was survival and Zack was trained to survive. He entered the Vet Center Outreach Program as a last resort not believing it could help. Farewell Darkness is a probing personal look at war's psychological toll. Told with a vision of healing and hope Zaczek's story captures the passion and idealism he felt as a 19-year-old Marine new to war his pride in doing a job well his fear and perseverance in the face of enemy fire his grief over the loss of friends and the anger and sadness of his homecoming. The reader lives Zaczek's brutal honest journey through war as well as his treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. Naval Institute Press hardcover books‎
