‎NAPALM BOMBED‎

‎New York: The Angry Arts Against the War 1967. Broadside sticker meant to be posted on walls and other public places featuring a disturbing black and white photograph of a disfigured child above the bold red headline Napalm Bombed. The Angry Arts Against the War is printed in the lower left corner. The organization formed in New York to protest the war in Vietnam with a week of events which included protest performances by artists musicians actors dancers filmmakers writers and poets. The movement spread to Los Angeles where this broadside was found. Creative protest activities took place in June and July 1967 including poetry readings film screenings theatrical performances and a sale of the paintings that had been on display at a Peace Tower erected on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. In Philadelphia the Angry Arts hosted a Napalm Poetry Read-In. Images of napalm-bombed women and children were shown on a large screen while a collection of poets read news reports and poems about the impact of U.S. bombing raids in Vietnam.<br/> <br/> The brown paper backing of the 9" x 13" sticker is still affixed. There is some creasing including a prominent horizontal fold with a bit of mild toning and edgewear. A scarce survivor OCLC locates no holdings of this ephemeral piece.

‎PHOTOGRAPHS OF AN OFFICER’S INTERACTIONS WITH VIETNAMESE HILL TRIBES 1969-70‎

‎Fascinating album concerning an officer's dealings with the hill tribes in the mountains around Vietnam the Montagnards an umbrella term coined by the French for the indigenous mountain people. Quarto three-ring binder. It contains 85 black and white photographs and 20 color photographs of Lt. Col. Frank F. Shelby in his interactions with the Montagnards and with his own unit. Binder and photographs both in very good condition.<br /> <br /> Shelby b.1929 grew up in Lexington Missouri. He joined the army in time to serve in the Korean War where he was with the 5th Regimental Combat Team. It was in Korea that he met his wife Jean who was also in the Army serving in the Women's Army Corps. He eventually ended up in Vietnam and was assigned to the U.S. Military Assistance Command Vietnam MACV a joint-service command of the United States Department of Defense. It was first implemented to assist the Military Assistance Advisory Group MAAG Vietnam controlling every advisory and assistance effort in Vietnam but was reorganized on May 15 1964 and absorbed MAAG Vietnam to its command when combat unit deployment became too large for advisory group control. He and Jean retired in 1973 and soon opened a Sambo's restaurant in the Cordova Mall in Pensacola.<br /> <br /> The Monochrome photographs are generally 5 ½†x 3 ½†except for about five 8†x 10†and document Shelby’s military service in 1969-70. He seems to have been a liaison of sorts with the Montagnard troops fighting with the Americans. But unlike other war albums his seemed to be a mission of coercion and diplomacy. There are no vivid photographs of napalm burning or helicopters crashing. Rather almost the whole album shows him relating to the Montagnards. He visited many Montagnard encampments distributing food and resources smoking ceremonial pipe with the elders arranging concerts etc. Much of the album are photographs portraits of solitary Montagnards.<br /> <br /> Also includes a printed multicolor "Giay Thong-Hanh" pass. It states "Safe-conduct pass to be honored by all Vietnamese Government agencies and allied forces" and consists of a yellow slip with lettering in English and Vietnamese bearing images of the flags of all the allied troops. In the margin Shelby has written "These are passed out in Villages and dropped from planes. All part of the PSYOP program. unknown‎

‎Unpublished Vietnam War Photograph Album; With Works from the Australian Army Public Relations Service and the United States Army‎

‎1968. Photograph Album. Hardcover. Very good. Unpublished Vietnam War correspondent photographs depicting military personnel prisoners of war battle zones and various graphic scenes of Vietnam in the late 1960s. 123 black and white photographs. Housed in red leatherette three-ring binder with gilt borders and bands measures 11" x 11" x 2.5". Images affixed to self-adhesive magnetic photo sleeves. Wear and rubbing to binder secure metal rings. A few loose photos some mylar peeling on sleeves. Some photographs with war department publication information on verso. Includes numerous captions written for professional publication reporting on various attacks and military operations throughout Vietnam. Features photographs taken for the United States Army United States Marines Royal Australian Regiment Royal New Zealand Artillery and the Southeast Asia Pictorial Center. The Vietnam War 1954-1975 is considered the first "living room war" due to its daily appearance on television and in the press. The war's controversial and polarizing nature only further propelled its publicity and detailed documentation as seen in this example. The majority of these photos are from late 1967 and early 1968 on location in Hue Nui Dat an Australian base now a part of Ba Ria Saigon and Long Binh/Bien Hoa outside Ho Chi Minh. Multiple images refer to Operation Coburg an Australian and New Zealand military action against the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong over the Lunar New Year festivities of 1968. It was the first time the Australian Task Force was deployed beyond its Tactical Area of Responsibility which set a precedent for later operations that extended beyond the assigned province of Phuoc Tuy. hardcover‎

‎African American Troops, Vietnam War‎

‎Multiracial Unit in the Vietnam War Photo Archive 1970-71‎

‎African American Troops in Vietnam War Archive of 68 color Polaroid photos of tightly knit multiracial U.S. Army Unit stationed in Vietnam in 1970-71 with many being African American. Photos measure 3.5" x 3.5" - 3.5" x 4.5". About a quarter of the images are pasted to black board with the rest being loose. Some the loose photos with handwritten captions and soldiers' names en verso. This album was assembled by Sergeant Vandergriff and documents his 1970-71 tour duty spanning from basic training to 5 days before his homecoming. The troops are seen smoking drinking and brandishing their weapons standard M16 rifles and M1911 sidearms. The unit seems tightly knit with friendships transcending skin color. The Vietnam War was the first American war in which African American and white troops were not segregated. Photos include multiple aerial shots from inside a helicopter and one shows a grounded destroyed helicopter. Other photos depict aircraft drill marches tanks weaponry villages and locals including two Vietnamese children bathing in a river. It is not clear which unit these troops belong to. It is possible they are in the 101st Airborne which was prominent at both Birmingham and Evans. During the Vietnam War African American soldiers made up almost 25% of all troops and comprised 40-60% of airborne units which seems to be reflected in this archive. Some photos have degradation or stains affecting the image; overall in very good condition and documents the experience of a soldier in multiracial U.S. Army. unknown‎

‎Antiwar, Vietnam War‎

‎Four Early Anti–Vietnam War Flyers Including GI Dissent and Women Strike for Peace 1965–66‎

‎Counterculture Vietnam War Four early anti–Vietnam War documents issued in 1965–66 capturing a transitional moment in the American peace movement—when dissent was still coalescing and protest was emerging through targeted civil disobedience tax resistance and moral appeals from within the military itself. Produced by a range of actors including the Student Peace Union SANE Women Strike for Peace and Contra Costa Citizens Against the War in Vietnam the items here reflect the movement’s early evolution from elite petitioning to direct action and grassroots confrontation. Includes:<br /> <br /> 1 A two-page mimeographed circular issued by the Student Peace Union titled United States Marines Speak Out dated April 30 1966. It reproduces letters from two anonymous Marines stationed in Chu Lai South Vietnam both expressing moral opposition to the war while still on active duty. The first writes: “I feel this war is a waste of time people and money… the people over here don’t care who they get food from or what supplies they need.†Describing a village where locals were caught placing glass in ice cubes and acid in Coke given to Marines he adds “I feel that these people don’t deserve and aren’t worth the trouble they are causing.†The second letter reflects broader disillusionment: “I believe in serving my obligation as a Marine… but this was such a hollow political cold war… I’ve brought comfort and ‘freedom’ not because I possess it but because I possess the all-powerful American Dollar.†He pleads for a shift in U.S. priorities: “Let us help these people with kindness not death.†The SPU notes that the names have been withheld for safety but that one Marine was made an honorary member of the organization after requesting to join.<br /> <br /> 2 A green flyer titled Port Chicago’s Where the Action Is announces a day of coordinated protest and civil disobedience on Sunday August 7 organized by Contra Costa Citizens Against the War in Vietnam. The leaflet targets the U.S. Naval Weapons Station at Port Chicago described as supplying “over 90% of the ammunition and explosives used by American forces in the Vietnam War.†Protestors are instructed to rally at Concord City Park then march to the munitions gate with a final call for those “prepared to risk arrest†to begin a vigil intended to block shipments. The language is unflinching: “WHERE napalm trucks double-section explosives trucks trainloads of bombs… are loaded onto ships bound for Vietnam… WHERE day and night countless human lives stacked routinely in the holds of ship after ship are processed for oblivion.†The bottom slogan reads: “One man / One truck / A thousand lives.â€<br /> <br /> 3 A broadside reproduces a full-page advertisement originally printed in The New York Times on February 19 1965 by the National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy SANE headlined: “Vietnam: America must decide between a full scale war and a negotiated truce.†It warns: “A spiraling exchange of blows and counterblows in Vietnam can lead to a major war involving the U.S. and China—a war nobody wants and no one can win.†Signatories include Dr. Benjamin Spock Linus Pauling Norman Mailer I.F. Stone and over 100 other clergy labor leaders writers and academics. The statement urges U.S. citizens to demand an immediate ceasefire and negotiated withdrawal: “No issues will be decided by prolonging the bloody and fratricidal conflict in South Vietnam.†A detachable section at the bottom calls on the public to contact Congress and the White House aligning elite opinion with public mobilization.<br /> <br /> 4 A double-sided broadside combines two distinct appeals: one from Women Strike for Peace and the other from Senator J. William Fulbright. On the recto the flyer is titled “Unhappy About High Food Prices†and draws an explicit connection between domestic inflation and military spending. “The war in Vietnam is costing over one million dollars each hour… and going up up up.†A pie chart starkly illustrates that “3/4 of your tax dollar is spent for military and space purposes†while only “1/4 is left for everything else.†A “Ballot on the War Budget†at the bottom encourages citizens to send a protest to their senators: “I object. I don’t want all that spending for death and destruction.†On the verso is an abridged version of Senator Fulbright’s October 14 1965 address at Kansas State College in which he asks: “Do we want our country to be the world’s policeman or an intelligent and humane society whose principal contribution to the outside world has been the power of its example†Fulbright laments the transformation of the 89th Congress into a “war Congress†noting: “We are requiring the poor and the schoolchildren of America to pay the cost… while its cities are wracked by violence its streets choked with traffic its rivers open sewers and its air unfit to breathe.â€<br /> <br /> Together these four documents provide a deeply textured view of antiwar organizing in its formative years—before mass demonstrations had defined the movement. Their diversity of voices—from enlisted servicemen to Nobel laureates California organizers to U.S. Senators—reveals a consensus beginning to form against escalation. This archive is a rare and important record of early resistance balancing policy critique economic urgency and moral clarity. unknown‎
