‎The Living and the Dead: Robert McNamara and Five Lives of a Lost War‎

‎Alfred A Knopf 1996. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. Price inside dustcover: $27.50. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 427 pages. - One of the finest books to emerge from the Vietnam experience The Living and the Dead presents a brilliant study of Robert McNamara his decision-making during the war and the way his decisions affected his own life and the lives of five individuals. A monumental work about power its abuse and its victims this meticulously researched beautifully written explosive and passionate book is often in conflict with McNamara's version of events. 8 photos. From the Publisher This brilliant explosive and passionate book reveals the Vietnam War as we never before have seen it - through the prism of Robert McNamara's crucial and tangled decision-making. It is a book that examines not only the genesis - in McNamara's life and character - of his wartime decisions but how they altered forever the fates of four men and a woman who beyond their own human importance might be said to stand in for all who were caught in the maelstrom that was Vietnam. In McNamara's looming shadow we are shown in equally intense detail five people who were caught up in the wake of his life-and-death decisions: an artist whose long-harbored rage erupts on a Massachusetts ferry as he tries to kill McNamara by then retired from the Cabinet; a young Marine physically and psychologically scarred by Vietnam battle; a Quaker who immolated himself in protest outside the Pentagon; a nurse desperate to believe her agonies in Vietnam were for a good cause; and a member of a Saigon family enlisted and then tragically abandoned by the Americans. More than a decade in the making The Living and the Dead is meticulously researched astonishing in its revelations and often in conflict with McNamara's own version of events.

‎Cambridge MA South End Press 2002. Paperback Reprint Edition 2002; First Printing Thus. Fine in Wraps: binding square and secure; text clean. Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. 8vo. 131pp. 8vo. 150 pages. Radical 60s Series Book 3. Reprint Edition 2002; First Printing Thus. Originally published in various journals and then by Beacon in 1967. Trade Paperback. Zinn�s compelling case against the Vietnam War now with a new introduction. Of the many books that challenged the Vietnam War Howard Zinn�s stands out as one of the best�and most influential. It helped sparked national debate on the war. It includes a powerful speech written by Zinn that President Johnson should have given to lay out the case for ending the war. Includes a new introduction by the author.The Vietnamese puppets of the French running the South knew that Ho Chi Minh would win any free and fair election so they would repeatedly refuse North Vietnamese requests to hold the promised elections that were supposed to reunify the country as called for in the 1954 Geneva accords. Zinn quotes Bernard Fall the French right wing military analyst much respected by hawkish American planners as saying that from 1957 to 1960 the U.S. installed South Vietnamese dictator Ngo Dinh Diem. Zinn notes that guerilla activity started in the late 50's by the reactivated units of the Viet Minh after Diem's stolen elections torture"manhunts" etc. He quotes experts on Vietnam that the National Liberation Front "Viet Cong" was created early in 1960 months before Hanoi authorized its creation solely on the initiative of Southerners resisting U.S. backed terror. He observes the Americans already had a couple thousand military "advisors" in the South in violation of the Geneva accords long before the US State Department would claim "infiltration" and "aggression" from the North. Zinn quotes Senate Majority leader Mike Mansfield's committee report that in January 1966 there were 14000 North Vietnamese troops in the 230000 NLF force in the South. At the same time there were 170000 American troops; other foreign troops included 21000 from South Korea. So the Americans and allied occupying forces infinitely outnumbered the North Vietnamese who were of course fighting in "South" Vietnam which was truly a part of their own country. The Mansfield report stated that from 1962 to 1965 14000 North Vietnamese "infiltrated" into the South but during the same time 100000 persons in the South joined the NLF the only force in South Vietnam addressing the needs of the peasant masses. In 1965 100000 deserted from the ARVN. He notes that in 1964 the NLF made one of its many peace offers at this point that entailed allowing it to participate as a political party in a South Vietnam w/o American occupation and military aid to the oligarchy a "neutralist" state. He quotes Neil Sheehan and Charles Mohr of the New York Times as saying that the NLF represented true social change for better or worse against the reactionary South Vietnamese oligarchy. He quotes a French foreign correspondent as observing that when what would become the NLF began assassinating South Vietnamese government officials in 1959-60 the peasants apparently supported these actions against their oppressors. Zinn observes that the NLF committed atrocities but had a long way to go to catch the Americans in this regard. He writes that communism has inspired activists in deeply impoverished capitalist countries independent of any Russian or Chinese meddling and they have adapted it to their local needs. He might have added that what the U.S. has smeared as communism in the third world is often a mild form of socialism as in Guatemala in 1954 that cuts slightly into the profits of multinational corporations and so was overthrown by the U.S. or forced to turn to the Russians. He goes over some of the reports of U.S. atrocities in the mainstream press. In November 1965 Neil Sheehan reported several dozen hamlets completely destroyed or heavily damaged by U.S. and the ARVN South Vietnamese army in order to root out the supposed NLF presence in them. Sheehan reported South Vietnamese government figures that 184 civilians were killed in the five hamlets of Duchai during this attack but the figure might have been as high 600. He reported that each month about 600 to 1000 civilians were being brought to the provincial hospital injured by American weaponry. Sheehan reported in February 1966 that U.S. napalm and bombs had destroyed 1000 peasant homes in three hamlets and a hundred civilians were killed in the village of Tamquan. The Honolulu Advertiser reported a hundred civilians killed or wounded near a Mekong Delta hamlet. Charles Mohr reporting the case of an old woman who could no longer close her eyes and lost her arms and two of her children all because of U.S. napalm stated "Few Americans appreciate what their nation is doing to South Vietnam with airpower." Civilians were "dying everyday in South Vietnam." Zinn quotes former Green Beret Donald Duncan as saying that he and his fellows regularly used torture against Vietnamese. He notes how in Laos the U.S. supported a right wing military coup in 1958 as the leftist Pathet Lao were about to win an election there. The U.S. would subvert in the next few years a neutralist government that allowed the Pathet Lao to be politically active. The U.S. backed military alliance SEATO insisted that the Pathet Lao were not commie stooges. This book was published in 1967. The U.S. after it destroyed the country in 1975 placed an embargo on Vietnam that threw it into the arms of the Russians and maintained brutal conditions in the country. South End Press, paperback‎
