1960réf. 210781960. Vietnam War Photography Personal photograph album containing 17 silver gelatin photographs documenting civilian life education family and military service in South Vietnam during the 1960s. Original brown vinyl album measuring approximately 3.5" x 4.5"; photographs approximately 2.5" x 3.25". The album offers an intimate glimpse into the everyday experiences of South Vietnamese men and women during a period more often documented through the lens of war. Rather than combat scenes the photographs focus primarily on family friendship education courtship and community life creating a personal record of a society navigating rapid social change amid the conflict. Several photographs depict young Vietnamese women wearing traditional áo dài dresses both in formal portraits and informal outdoor settings. One particularly attractive image shows three smiling women walking along a path in patterned áo dài framed by a mixture of traditional and modern architecture. Another studio portrait captures a young woman posed alone and smiling toward the camera suggesting a family member friend or perhaps the album owner's sweetheart. Education and youth culture are prominently represented. Multiple photographs show school-aged girls gathered in classrooms and assembled outdoors in large group portraits. The students wear white áo dài and traditional conical hats illustrating the continued importance of educational institutions and cultural traditions during the war years. Several candid classroom scenes preserve moments of ordinary student life rarely encountered in wartime photographic archives. The album also documents changing fashions and modernization in South Vietnam. Young men and women appear in contemporary 1960s clothing posing in parks forests and rural landscapes. One photograph shows a young Vietnamese man seated proudly atop a large tractor reflecting the agricultural modernization efforts underway throughout much of South Vietnam during the period. Military service appears in several images. One photograph depicts a South Vietnamese serviceman standing beside an automobile with military vehicles visible in the background suggesting that the album may have belonged to a soldier or military family. Unlike official military photographs however the image emphasizes personal identity rather than military operations reinforcing the album's character as a private keepsake rather than a wartime record. Additional photographs show fishing boats riverside scenes rural landscapes and groups of family members and friends creating a portrait of everyday life that existed alongside the broader conflict. Together the photographs reveal the coexistence of tradition and modernity documenting a generation of South Vietnamese men and women whose lives were shaped by both enduring cultural customs and the upheavals of the Vietnam War era. Photographs appear to have been removed from a larger album at some point with remnants of mounting paper and adhesive visible on versos. Minor wear and handling marks; overall very good condition. A compelling personal archive documenting civilian life education culture and military service in South Vietnam during the 1960s. unknown books
1968réf. 197531968. Photographic archive 1968-1969 documenting African American enlisted personnel in the United States Army Transportation Corps during the Vietnam War era with emphasis on training environments unit structure and daily life on base prior to overseas deployment. The material captures soldiers in both formal and informal settings providing visual evidence of military preparation racial composition within units and interpersonal dynamics among predominantly Black troops during a period of significant racial tension within the U.S. armed forces. The archive supports research into African American military service segregation and integration practices and the lived experience of soldiers during the late 1960s. Archive of 41 original vintage photographs primarily color with several black-and-white images ranging in size from approximately 3.5 x 3.5 inches to 3.5 x 5 inches. The photographs depict soldiers in a range of uniform styles including standard fatigues seasonal dress variations and Transportation Corps-specific elements such as white belts shoulder cords red scarves and helmets with distinctive markings. Several images show troops in formation with rifles raised while others capture training environments featuring sandbag trenches artillery placements and fortified structures resembling pillboxes. Interior scenes document barracks life including soldiers playing cards maintaining uniforms and interacting in relaxed settings. A black-and-white image shows an African American soldier posed near signage for a "Leadership School and Honor Guard" at a U.S. Transportation Center while another identifies a seated "battery clerk" labeled informally as "Johnny my Running Mate." Additional photographs include racially integrated groupings with Black and white soldiers appearing together in casual and structured contexts. Produced during the height of the Vietnam War this archive provides insight into the transitional phase between training and deployment emphasizing both institutional structure and personal experience within military life. The presence of both formal drills and informal social scenes allows for examination of hierarchy camaraderie and daily routine among enlisted men. Light handling wear and minor surface marks; overall very good condition. A substantial visual record of African American military experience within the U.S. Army during a pivotal period of twentieth-century conflict. unknown

Les accords de 1949 entre la France et les territoires de l'Indochine créent les Etats associés du Cambodge, du Laos et du Vietnam. L'Indépendance du Vietnam dans le cadre de l'Union française est reconnue le 8 mars 1949 (Accords de l'Elysée avec l'ex-empereur d'Annam Bao-Dai). La convention du 30 décembre 1949 prévoit notamment le développement d'une Armée nationale (ANV) et le transfert des Forces Terrestres d'Extrême Orient (FTEO), mais dont le commandement restera sous l'autorité du général commandant en chef en Indochine. Les années 1949-1950 sont un tournant marqué par la victoire de Mao en Chine, l'appui de cette dernière au Vietminh et la défaire française de Cao Bang en décembre 1950. C'est le général de Lattre, nommé en décembre 1950 haut-commissaire de France en Indochine et commandant en chef en Indochine, qui donnera l'impulsion décisive pour le développement de l'ANV. Une véritable conscription est lancée. Des centres d'instruction sont créés (Dalat, Thu Duc, Hanoï, une école de l'air à Nha-Trang...). L'aide américaine est négociée. L'organisation est calquée sur le modèle de l'armée française. Malgré de multiples problèmes, au départ de de Lattre (novembre 1951), l'ANV compte environ 130 000 hommes. Le général de Lattre meurt à Paris le 11 janvier 1952. Deux hommes succèdent au général de Lattre après sa mort à Paris en Janvier 1952: Jean Letourneau, qui cumule son portefeuille de ministre chargés des Etats Associés avec le poste de Haut-Commissaire en Indochine et le général Raoul Salan, adjoint militaire de de Lattre entre décembre 1950 et janvier 1952, puis Commandant en chef en Indochine jusqu'en mai 1953. La dimension politique n'est pas absente: le général Clark, à la suite de sa visite et des échanges avec Salan en mars 1953, appuiera les demandes pressantes de matériels à Washington. En mars 1952, le général Nguyen Van Hinh (1915-2004) est nommé chef d'Etat-Major de l'Armée Nationale Vietnamienne. Il est le fils de Nguyen Van Tam, chef de gouvernement de l'Etat du Vietnam sous Bao Daï de 1952 à 1954. Intéressante série de photos de l'ANV qui illustrent une des modalités du processus de "désengagement" de la France et le travail de communication du Service Presse Information, complètement réorganisé par de Lattre.

1968réf. 3397San Francisco 1968. Very good. Broadsheet on blue paper 13.5 x 8.5 inches. Slight discoloration along top and bottom edges minor edge wear a few soft creases old horizontal folds. An exceedingly rare broadsheet advertising a multi-faceted public march and rally against the Vietnam War and "racism poverty and repression" which took place in San Francisco California about three weeks after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The organizers of the event the April 27 Mobilization Committee framed the day's activities around Dr. King's opposition to the Vietnam War; the broadside calls for the protesters to "pay tribute to the memory" of Dr. King his portrait is printed at the top of the front side of the broadsheet and the entirety of the verso prints excerpts of an April 4 1967 speech by Dr. King railing against the Vietnam War. Particularly interesting is the eclectic list of speakers who participated in the day's events on April 27 1968 which included Muhammad Ali Vanessa Redgrave Jeanette Rankin Bobby Seale Arnold True and Sidney Roger. Ali was in the midst of his appeal after his conviction for draft evasion the previous year and was a natural candidate to speak against the injustices of the Vietnam War. Bobby Seale co-founder of the Black Panthers was four months away from participating in protests at the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention after which he was arrested and tried as part of the sham Chicago Eight fiasco. The diversity of the speakers echoes the quantity of different issues represented by the current broadsheet: Civil Rights the Vietnam War the recent assassination of Dr. King Muhammad Ali's legal fight against the war Bobby Seale's controversial role with the Bay Area Black Panthers women's rights and the role of the American military.

1970réf. 190661970. U.S. Army Engineer Company photo album early 1970s documents logistical operations base life and personnel composition at Oakland Army Base during the Vietnam War providing visual evidence of military transportation infrastructure and the integration of a diverse workforce within a key Pacific transit hub. The material records the functioning of an engineer unit responsible for vehicle maintenance cargo handling and operational readiness while also capturing the presence of African American servicemen and female personnel within the same working and ceremonial environments. It supports research into military logistics on the U.S. home front race and gender integration in the armed forces and the institutional processes that sustained overseas deployment during the Vietnam War. Album containing 369 photographs including 353 color and 16 black and white images most measuring approximately 5 x 3.5 inches compiled at Oakland Army Base and the adjacent Port of Oakland. The contents document heavy machinery and vehicle maintenance including bulldozers cranes transport trucks and military jeeps with numerous images showing mechanics engaged in repair work. Additional photographs depict combat training exercises including rifle instruction with M16 firearms alongside formal ceremonies in which soldiers of varied racial backgrounds and both genders receive promotions commendations and instruction from commanding officers. Several images show administrative office environments providing insight into the clerical and organizational functions supporting base operations. Group scenes include family-oriented gatherings and meals indicating the social dimension of service life within the base setting. Produced at a time when Oakland Army Base operated as a principal embarkation and return point for U.S. forces traveling to and from Vietnam and other locations in East Asia the album documents the domestic infrastructure underpinning overseas military engagement. The emphasis on machinery cargo movement and personnel readiness reflects the scale and complexity of logistical coordination required during the conflict. The visible diversity within the unit corresponds with broader transformations in the U.S. military following desegregation and evolving roles for women making the album relevant to studies of institutional change during the late stages of the Vietnam War. Light wear to album edges and corners photographs well-preserved with minor handling marks; overall very good. A substantial visual record of engineer operations and base life at a critical West Coast military installation during wartime. unknown

1960réf. Cat357Japan Taiwan Korea and the US 1960. 15 ¼ x 11 inch album with attractive painted cover containing approximately 235 photos mainly 3 ½ x 5 inches and smaller. Contents generally in excellent condition. Excellent. A photo album by an unknown US Marine containing photos from his time in Okinawa Taiwan and Korea in the 1950s and 1960s. At the time—the earliest dated photo in the album is from April 1956—the Vietnam War was in its early days with Eisenhower deploying MAAG to train the ARVN in late 1955. It is not clear what unit the photographer was with as only his training platoon 46 of the Second Recruit Battalion on Parris Island is identified; however this photo’s caption includes “Photo by MAAG”. The album appears to be divided between the three locations each of which was strategic in the Cold War broadly and for American efforts in Vietnam in particular. It is highlighted by a series of photographs apparently from Taiwan showing agricultural workers planting and posing with their crops and children. In the 1950s under the China Aid Act the Sino-American Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction JCRR had launched a land reform financed by American aid and staffed by ROC scientists. In the 1960s this program expanded to crop diversification and the creation of the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center. These efforts towards agricultural development in Taiwan were like other US efforts in the region intended to contain the spread of Communism.1 Other photos from Taiwan include shots of the ships; men outside their tents vehicles and straw huts smoking and playing cards; some are city streets but most are of the countryside. Several notable photos show the Marines playing at being POWs: in one a man poses with his hands on his head next to a sign reading “POW AND CAPTURED / EQUIPMENT COMPOUND” and in another one soldier pretends to march his fellow at gunpoint. Photos from Okinawa show military vehicles city streets and American and Japanese men—many Okinawans were employed by the US military during its occupation. Many scenes appear to show construction efforts with USMC-marked bulldozers and tractors driving around fields of dirt and rock in the countryside with a few of these showing Okinawa residents as well. South Korea also played an active role in the Vietnam War. Photos from Korea show tanks and other vehicles along the coast and being loaded into ships American soldiers driving and posing in the countryside and several of village streets and residents. Other subjects include target shooting transit on a ship captioned “WESTWARD HO / FAR EAST BOUND” and some that appear to be family and scenery shots in the US dated April 1961. Overall the album provides a look not just at the activities of the Marine Corps in the early US advisory era of the Vietnam War but also the people and places of the US’s strategic activities in East Asia. Of interest to historians of the Vietnam War Cold War and US empire. 1 Leo Chu “‘A bloodless social revolution’: Land reform and multiple cropping in Cold War Taiwan 1950–1979” The history of crop science and the future of food 6 no. 5 September 2024 1104–1110. unknown
1960réf. Cat357Japan Taiwan Korea and the US 1960. 15 ¼ x 11 inch album with attractive painted cover containing approximately 235 photos mainly 3 ½ x 5 inches and smaller. Contents generally in excellent condition. Excellent. A photo album by an unknown US Marine containing photos from his time in Okinawa Taiwan and Korea in the 1950s and 1960s. At the time—the earliest dated photo in the album is from April 1956—the Vietnam War was in its early days with Eisenhower deploying MAAG to train the ARVN in late 1955. It is not clear what unit the photographer was with as only his training platoon 46 of the Second Recruit Battalion on Parris Island is identified; however this photo’s caption includes “Photo by MAAG”. The album appears to be divided between the three locations each of which was strategic in the Cold War broadly and for American efforts in Vietnam in particular. It is highlighted by a series of photographs apparently from Taiwan showing agricultural workers planting and posing with their crops and children.

1959réf. 223101959. United States Army Intelligence School. Intelligence training archive. 1959-1963. This archive documents the institutional training system used by the U.S. Army Intelligence School at Fort Holabird during the Cold War outlining how personnel were instructed in reconnaissance mapping foreign intelligence analysis and counterintelligence operations. The material establishes a formal curriculum designed to prepare officers for intelligence work in the context of U.S.-Soviet conflict combining doctrinal interpretation of adversary systems with technical instruction in observation terrain analysis and operational planning. It provides primary evidence of how intelligence training integrated ideological framing with practical field methods. Archive of 13 instructional documents totaling approximately 459 pages issued between 1959 and 1963 including manuals technical booklets and training schedules. Titles include 1 Soviet Intelligence Systems Nov 1962 2 Observation and Description Jan 1961 3-5 Military Map Reading booklets 1959-1961 6 Interpretation of Highways Bridges and Transportation Facilities Oct 1961 7 USAINTS Library Guide Jan 1962 8 Operational Data on South Korea I Sep 1962 9 Nuclear Warfare II Jun 1963 10 Benelux Jul 1961 11 Solution of Dispersion Problems undated and 12-13 weekly training schedules June and July 1963. The manuals include diagrams and exercises on map reading identifying "recognition distance and direction" as core elements with annotated examples of azimuth calculation and grid use. Instructional material in Observation and Description includes facial and morphological diagrams distinguishing features such as "Vertical Forehead" and "Bushy" eyebrows for identification purposes. Soviet Intelligence Systems presents ideological analysis stating that Soviet security organs are "extensions of the Party's designs" and describing intelligence as "a pervasive force which envelops every sector of society." Infrastructure manuals include photographic examples of roads and bridges for field identification while the Library Guide outlines access systems and spatial organization of intelligence resources. Weekly schedules list training components such as report writing practical exercises and seminars alongside technical instruction in photography. Produced during a period of sustained Cold War tension these materials show how the U.S. Army formalized intelligence education by combining political interpretation of adversaries with standardized technical training. The emphasis on mapping surveillance and infrastructure analysis reflects preparation for both conventional and nuclear-era operations while the inclusion of regional studies such as South Korea and Benelux indicates geographic scope within global strategic planning. Minor rust to staples light edge toning and scattered manuscript annotations; occasional corner creases and small marginal tears not affecting text; overall very good. A cohesive archive of Cold War intelligence training preserving the instructional methods and analytical frameworks used by the U.S. Army in the early 1960s. unknown
