[VIETNAM WAR] WATERHOUSE, Charles
Vietnam War Sketches
Vermont: 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.

[VIETNAM WAR] MOORE, Lt Gen Harold G [with] GALLOWAY, Joseph L
We Were Soldiers Once.And Young
New 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

[Vietnam War Literature] Moore, Lt Gen Harold G (Ret) and Joseph L Galloway
We Were Soldiers Once.and Young. Ia Drang--The Battle that Changed the War in Vietnam.
New 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

[VIETNAM WAR] KRUEGER, Carl
Wings of The Tiger
New 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.

VOLOZ'IN: SIFRAH SHEL HA-'IR VE-SHEL YESHIVAT "'ETS HAYIM" [WOLOZIN]
1st edition. Original illustrated boards, Large 8vo 679, 35, 47 pages. Includes illustrations, facsimiles, map, and portraits. In Hebrew. Title translates as, Wolozin: the book of the city and of the Etz Hayyim Yeshivah. Includes articles in Hebrew, Yiddish and English. Includes bibliographical references. On 17 September 1939, the first day of the Soviet invasion of Poland, Valozhyn was occupied by the Red Army. On 14 November 1939, Valozhyn was incorporated into the Byelorussian SSR. All previously allowed religious studies were forbidden. On the fourth day of Operation Barbarossa, on 25 June, 1941 Valozhyn was bombed, captured by troops of the German Army Group Centre and mostly burned. Several Jews were murdered by German soldiers who entered the town. On the next day, a 12-member Judenrat was appointed by the Gestapo and shortly after Stanislaw Torsky, a member of the Polish National Democrats Endek party with strongly antisemitic views, was appointed mayor. On his second day as mayor, he ordered the arrest of the town doctor along with his daughter, and 10 other Jewish people, who were savagely beaten and shot. On 25 July 1941, Valozhyn was placed under the administration of the newly formed Generalbezirk Weißruthenien of Reichskommissariat Ostland. In August 1941, the Jewish residents of the town, approximately 3500 people, were moved to a Ghetto in the "Aropzu" neighbourhood, along with Jewish residents from the neighboring towns Vishnyeva, Halshany and Ashmyany. The Jews, as well as Russian prisoners in the area, were subjected to forced labour, tortured, underfed, and many of them publicly murdered. Local Christians who were caught having mercy or assisting the Jews in giving food received a similar fate
..On 5 July 1944, Valozhyn was recaptured by troops of the Soviet 3rd Belorussian Front during the Vilnius Offensive. Following its liberation, several Jews who returned openly to Valozhyn were murdered by local townspeople.

Boston 1815. First edition. A very good copy old folds some minor marginal browning and soiling. 1 sheet 1 p. Folio. 35 x 21 cm. An important broadside noting the deficiencies of the volunteer militia. One of two states this with the fourth line in bold-type. Opens: Commonwealth of Massachusetts. General orders. Head-quarters Boston June 17th 1815. : On the 15th inst. the following order of Council was passed viz.: "In Council June 15th 1815. The committee of Council to whom was referred a resolve of the legislature . respectfully report--that His Excellency be advised to issue his order for the discharge of all the volunteer corps raised for the defence of the commonwealth .":--By virtue therefore of the powers vested in him His Excellency the commander in chief hereby discharges from further service all the volunteer corps ."<br /> <br /> Brooks of course began by 1 thanking the men for "the generous patriotic and voluntary tender of services for the defence of the Commonwealth at the most threatening period of the late war and the assiduity and zeal displayed by those Corps in training themselves for usefulness in the field without expense to the State." 2 discharge them from further service" and 3 ordering "all officers and others who may have received from the Commonwealth ordnance arms or munitions of war of any kind for the use or on account of any of those Corps to cause the same to be forthwith returned to the Quarter Master General at Boston." <br /> <br /> But more importantly he used the occasion to make military revisions for the future noting that "inconveniencies have arisen from restriction the election of company officers to the Wards" which he ordered changed and that "great irregularities" have followed "from the liberty that officers have taken to absent themselves for more than twelve months without leave from their Major Generals and the still more numerous evils resulting from officers removing their places of residence to such a distance from the bounds of their respective commands as to render discharge of their duty highly inconvenient and sometimes impossible." He ends by ordering wholesale changes in command structure.<br /> <br /> John Brooks 1752 -1825 a doctor by training a Federalist by disposition served under George Washington during the Revolutionary War later helped to put down Shay's Rebellion and at the conclusion of the War of 1812 was elected governor of Massachusetts less than a year after issuing this broadside.<br /> <br /> Rare.

[War of 1812 - Soldier's Correspondence] Crawford, D
Lengthy Soldier’s Letter Written in the Aftermath of the War of 1812 Discussing Personal Expenses Incurred During the Formation of a Company During the Conflict
Fort Richmond 1815. Single page bifolium 15 x 9 ½ inches. One area of loss measuring roughly an inch square and affecting the final paragraph of the letter else about fine. Circular New York stamp with manuscript rate at the war rate of 25 ½ cents. An uncommonly detailed letter written by a Captain D. Crawford of the 46th Infantry to Colonel Charles K. Gardner detailing his career in the army and asking Gardner to advocate on his behalf for further military service. Crawford’s letter gives a detailed account of the process of forming a company by his own endeavors writing “in the fall of 1812 without bounty when the pay of a Soldier was but 5 Dollars per month I almost entirely by my own exertions enlisted a Company of 75 Volunteers.†He continues to make his case both for his career and for his reimbursement stating “That we have been in no battles is our misfortune rather than our fault. We have done our duty.†It is possible that his lack of engagement was a cause of the withholding of funds. Overall an interesting and detailed account of a Captain’s experiences in the War of 1812 worthy of study for scholars of the United States military during the period. <br /> <br /> Fort Richmond S.I. April 28 1815<br /> <br /> Dear Sir <br /> <br /> Understanding that you have gone on to Washington and expecting you will remain there during the selection of Officers for the Peace Establishment I have thought proper to address you to make known my desire to continue in the Army and to solicit your assistance in that behalf wishing that through you the Secretary at War and the Officers directed to assist him may know my claims which will be briefly stated. <br /> <br /> It is well known to you Sir that in the fall of 1812 without bounty when the pay of a Soldier was but 5 Dollars per month I almost entirely by my own exertions enlisted a Company of 75 Volunteers. The character of the Regt. to which I was attached is sufficiently known. Col. Gray’s reports will show in what state my Company was always found. The term of service of the principal part of the men expired on the 5th Novr. 1813. They generally volunteered a second time to stay till the January 1814 and as the Officers of our Regt. had no orders to engage them for a longer time they were then discharged and the most of them reenlisted in the 41st & 42nd Regts.<br /> <br /> My appointment in the 46th Regt. is the 21st April 1814. The last of May following I was ordered on the recruiting service & during the Summer enlisted 49 men all except 2 for 5 years. I have rec’d $1000 only of the public money the amount necessary and that which is allowed by law to recruit the above number with the contingent account would be $3288 leaving a balance in my favor of $1788 a great part of which I have advanced and notwithstanding the exertions of Col. Tallmadge remains as yet unsettled. <br /> <br /> We shall have remaining in our Regt. for 5 years about 70 men. Of course above half that will remain were enlisted by myself in fact the greatest number that any other officer recruited was 37.<br /> <br /> If to have been the means of bringing in service a great part of the numbers of Volunteers mentioned above if to have recruited nearly 50 men for 5 years and by my own advances paid many of them the bounty if being senior Captain and enlisting a greater number of men by a fourth part than any other officer of our Regt. gives any claim then may I confidently expect what I ask. That we have been in no battles is our misfortune rather than our fault. We have done our duty. We have obeyed the orders of those appointed over us. Capt. Gourlay having made arrangements to go in business has given notice that it is his wish to be discharged. <br /> <br /> I have only to observe that you have known me as a citizen and perhaps may have understood my character as an Officer and being well convinced that what anyone can do in my favor you can do I shall ever consider myself as gratefully obliged for any assistance you may render me. <br /> <br /> Very Respectfully<br /> Sir<br /> Your obt. Svt.<br /> D. Crawford<br /> Capt. 46th Infantry<br /> <br /> to<br /> Col. Gardner<br /> <br /> P.S. If it would not be asking too much I would request from you a line on this business which I could received at the Post Office in New York with your opinion when the reduction will take place as soon as convenient. <br /> D. C. unknown
