‎DALTON] [Hugh‎

‎Photographic print. OUTSTANDING SIGNED PORTRAIT OF THE FOUNDER OF SOE‎

‎n.d. 1930s. measuring 8.5 x 6.25 ins. approx. 21.5 x 16.0 cms printed in sepia and mounted in studio's presentation gatefold wallet with original tissue guard intact; in near fine state. SIGNED BY DALTON WITH HIS HOLOGRAPH INSCRIPTION AND SIGNATURE ACROSS LOWER RIGHT-HAND CORNER OF PORTRAIT AND MOUNT. The portrait was taken in the studio of Andrew Paterson of Inverness. Paterson was a highly successful artist-photographer whose services were sought over several decades by many leading political and commercial figures of the day. The Rt. Hon. Edward Hugh John Neale Dalton later Baron Dalton 1887-1962 Labour politician and close friend of Winston Churchill occupied several senior offices of state throughout his long career. During WWII he served as Minister of Economic Warfare and President of the Board of Trade from 1945-47 as Chancellor of the Exchequer when he nationalised the Bank of England and from 1948-50 as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Dalton was born in Wales and educated at Eton King's College Cambridge the London School of Economics LSE and the University of London. During WWI he served as a lieutenant in France and Italy compiling 'With British Guns in Italy' as a record of his experiences. Although a staunch Labour party member he was nevertheless a fervent supporter of Churchill during the crisis of 1940 and strongly opposed to any compromise peace as urged by Halifax and other conservatives. In his wartime coalition Churchill appointed Dalton Minister of Economic Warfare. Following Churchill's well-known instruction 'to set Europe ablaze' Dalton founded the Special Operations Executive SOE and was subsequently a co-founder of the Political Warfare Executive PWE. After the surprise Labour victory in 1945 Dalton was seen alongside Attlee Bevin Morrison and Cripps as one of the 'big five' of the new administration. In 1948 he was appointed Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and in 1950 Minister of Town and Country Planning. He retired from government after the general election of 1951 and was created a life peer as Baron Dalton on 1960. Items signed by Dalton are now very rare. His papers and diaries are held at the London School of Economics. A SCARCE AND SPLENDID SIGNED PORTRAIT IDEAL FOR PRESENTATION unknown‎

‎WORLD WAR II IN ASIA‎

‎A Tiger Booklet: Okinawa.‎

‎No place or publisher: 1945. First edition first printing of this guide issued to members of the RAF's heavy bomber Tiger Force during the preparations for Operation Downfall. Of the 5500 copies originally printed none are now found in institutional collections. Victory in the Battle of Okinawa gave the Allies a foothold in the Pacific from which they could mount offensives against the last surviving Axis combatant. For the planners of Operation Downfall air superiority was a key tactical advantage. In early July 3000 personnel were therefore reassigned from RAF Bomber Command Europe to the newly formed Tiger Force ready to conduct sorties into Japan's Asian possessions and support an offensive push on the ground. Preparations for Downfall occurred alongside planning for a nuclear attack and after Japan's unconditional surrender in August Tiger Force was wound down. The booklet provides an overview of Okinawa's history populations climate and culture. Personnel are given advice on disease prevention personal hygiene and options for recreation. As the final page notes "you will no doubt have gathered by now that Okinawa Jima is not altogether an earthly paradise. On the other hand it might be vastly worse and it is a great deal better than the jungles of Burma and New Guinea" p. 6. Square octavo pp. 6. Folding map of Okinawa map in text. Original pink wrappers wire-stitched as issued front cover lettered in black with tiger vignette. Faint contemporary ownership inscription on front cover. Two old horizontal folds throughout wrappers a little toned occasional foxing internally folding map bright with horizontal fold to upper part. A very good copy. unknown‎

‎[VIETNAM WAR] SHEEHAN, Neil et al‎

‎The Air War in Indochina‎

‎Boston: 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.

‎[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] 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.

‎[VIETNAM WAR] TRINIDAD, Corky‎

‎Nguyen Charlie with Sorry 'bout that Sarge‎

‎Tokyo: Stars and Stripes 1969 1970. First Edition. Two volumes 17.5cm x 13.5cm. Publisher's illustrated card covers strong and clean with light edgewear and a little soiling here and there to the predominantly white covers. Very good copies. 40pp;40pp. Internally clean a little staple related rust here and there but otherwise very presentable. Originally published in Stars and Stripes and extremely popular with the men on the ground the Nguyen Charlie strip became much needed relief from painful nature of the conflict it so satirically illustrated. Francisco Flores "Corky" Trinidad was a Filipino-American journalist and cartoonist who fled the Phillipines during the Marcos dictatorship and whose work was internationally syndicated throughout the 1970's and 80's he was in fact the first Asian editorial cartoonist to be syndicated within the US and the only Asian-American cartoonist working at a major US newspaper. The Nguyen Charlie cartoon books are rather ephemeral little volumes and presentable copies are quite rare. Stars and Stripes unknown‎

‎[VIETNAM WAR] SOLIS, Lieutenent Colonel Gary D USMC‎

‎Marines and Military Law In Vietnam: Trial By Fire‎

‎Washington D.C.: History and Museums Division 1989. First Edition. First Printing. 4to. 27cm x 21cm. Publisher's green cloth. Dustjacket. Titled and decorated to spine and front board with the USMC globe and anchor in gilt. Pictorial dustjacket bright and clean with some marginal wear and chipping most visibly to spine ends and the lower edge of the rear panel which has a fingernail sized triangle of loss and a small closed tear. A very good strong copy. 295pp. Internally clean. A candid record of the challenges and unprecedented cirumstances the USMC legal department in Vietnam had to deal with. Fragging of unpopular officers casual murder of Vietnamese civilians sexual assault massive amounts of theft and graft and a drug problem that obviously gives rise to a flourishing drugs trade that was so widespread and serious that it threatened to destabilise the entire system of military law were all handled by somewhere in the region of 500 men and women of the Navy and Marines legal teams between 1965 and 1973. Many of the lawyers involved in cases in Vietnam were also combat personnel fighting on the ground and practising military law in addition to their regular duties meaning that they were probably more qualified to defend and prosecute the men under their charge than just about any body of lawyers in history.
