1992Best.-Nr. 29632New York:: Random House 1992. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright price-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

1969Best.-Nr. 148329Milan: c. 1969. Striking pop art-influenced suite of anti-imperialist propaganda posters published in Milan by the Comitato Vietnam - self-described in their literature as the "sezione italiana del tribunale Russell". The work of a collective comprised of six prominent Italian artists the images carry the theme 'Rebellion is right rebellion is possible' into various theatres of anti-imperialist struggle. Baratella b. 1935 Mariani b. 1936 and Spadari 1938-97 were long-term collaborators and members of the Nuova Figurazione art movement. Amadori 1945- 2015 won the Joan Miró prize in 1972. Spadari's contribution draws on the "solarised" image of Castro in the Cuban Revolution from his work "26 de julio" while in an anti-Vietnam War themed poster similarly treated repeated images of a Vietnamese women are overlain by a Lichtensteinian US fighter jet wheeling away from an explosion from which emerges a Coca-Cola bottle cap with the slogan 'Nixon boia' - Nixon executioner also the title of a song by popular singer-story teller Franco Trincale - and the partially obscured text 'Coca-Cola merda'. Nixon also features on a poster featuring his cartoonish portrait wearing a star-spangled neck-tie while being choked out by several nooses above him a ferociously snarling Black Panther head; while "Africa Rossa/Africa Nera" centres on a photographic image of the clenched first Black Power salute. Baratella based his poster around his painting "Benito Mussolini Storia del fascismo" where "Il Duce's" face morphs into a skull here with the lower part is superimposed with six small portraits of current political leaders including de Gaulle Pompidou Khrushchev and LBJ. The last in the group dramatises the Arab-Israeli conflict with a repeated image of a woman PFLP fighter - Leila Khaled - in keffiyeh and camo fatigues carrying a AK-47 above her a map of Jerusalem. No other set of these traced a couple of examples of individual posters noted institutionally; an excellent evocation of the artistic-political synergies of the period. Six large black and white photomontage posters 700 x 500 mm printed on coated paper each with the repeated slogan 'ribellarsi è giusto ribellarsi è possibile' in red; in the original tan slub-weave linen textured light card portfolio printed in red title to the front panel superimposed on a red five-pointed star. The portfolio a little rubbed and soiled pale damp spots at the spine-fold where there are a few short splits posters show light handling but overall very good. unknown

"To Hedley Donovan-With reminiscence of our pleasant association. W. C. Westmoreland. March 1969." In his position as Editor in Chief of Time Inc. Donovan had made four trips to Vietnam to see firsthand the people and places being covered by his correspondents and to get a feel for the situation.

Partly reading "As commander of all U.S. forces in South Viet Nam General William Childs Westmoreland 51 directed the historic buildup drew up the battle plans and infused the 190000 men under him with his own idealistic view of U.S. aims and responsibilities. He was the sinewy personification of the American fighting man in 1965 who through the monsoon mud of nameless hamlets amidst the swirling sand of seagirt enclaves atop the jungled mountains of the Annamese Cordillera served as the instrument of U.S. policy quietly enduring the terror and discomfort of a conflict that was not yet a war on a battlefield that was all no man's land.

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
1963Best.-Nr. 235511963. Vietnam War captivity and Code of Conduct press photograph archive 1963 to 1967 documenting how American military joined two sides of the same problem: the questioning of suspected Viet Cong prisoners in South Vietnam and the training of U.S. soldiers to resist Communist interrogation if captured. The Korean training images trace to the post Korean War Code of Conduct regime created after American POWs had faced coercion indoctrination and propaganda use in North Korean and Chinese captivity. The Vietnam images date from June August and September 1967 during the year after the major U.S. troop buildup made prisoner handling tactical intelligence and battlefield screening daily features of American and South Vietnamese operations. Photo archive of five silver gelatin press photographs each 8 x 10 inches 1963 to 1967. The photographs show three Vietnam War prisoner scenes and two U.S. Army Code of Conduct training scenes. One Associated Press wirephoto dated June 23 1967 captioned "Interrogation" shows South Vietnamese Marines and a U.S. Marine questioning a Vietnamese villager suspected of being a Viet Cong terrorist after two Marines were killed in a firefight northeast of Saigon. Another dated August 5 1967 captioned "Questioning a villager" shows South Vietnamese paramilitary soldiers questioning a man suspected of being a Viet Cong soldier after villagers were rounded up following a firefight southwest of Saigon. A September 24 1967 wirephoto captioned "Asks a captive" shows soldiers of the U.S. 25th Infantry Division interrogating a captured Viet Cong soldier before continuing a village sweep northwest of Saigon. The two Korea images show staged Communist prisoner camp scenarios: one image by Malcolm Barr shows American soldiers three dressed in North Korean army uniforms conducting an "interrogation" at a U.S. Army simulated Communist prisoner of war camp; the other captioned "Pointed question" shows Sp/4 Ralph Kreis receiving rough treatment from Korean "guards" attached to the 2nd Infantry Division during a five hour Code of Conduct course. The group belongs to the period when the U.S. military carried Korean War captivity lessons into the Vietnam era while fighting a counterinsurgency in which prisoners detainees suspected guerrillas and civilian villagers became sources of tactical information. The Vietnam photographs show prisoner questioning at the edge of combat operations with captions placing each scene near Saigon and linking interrogation to sweeps firefights suspected Viet Cong activity and U.S. or South Vietnamese field units. The U.S. Code of Conduct photographs show the counterpart of American soldiers rehearsing captivity under staged Communist authority using Korean War imagery to prepare men for the coercive questioning and ideological pressure they might face in later Cold War conflicts. Press stamps caption slips crop marks editorial notations toning surface wear adhesive residue and handling creases; images remain clean and clear. Overall very good condition.

Four page typed interrogation report with distribution sheet 8 x 10 inches in Vietnamese with two mounted silver gelatin mugshot portraits of Trần Thị Tư. The first page is headed "Báo Cáo Thẩm Vấn" roughly translating to "Interrogation Report" with Trần Thị Tư identified as the informant no alias no nom de guerre and her communist position having "contacted guided and sheltered her husband as he infiltrated the Capital District to carry out Communist activity." The report gives her address as 44C B Ä‘Æ°á»ng Phan Thanh Giản Gò Vấp lists her birth in 1953 at Xuyên Thanh Duy Xuyên Quảng Nam identifies her husband as Trần Văn Bốn alias Trung a professional weaver and records her occupation as an ice cream seller.

The file records a mother in law's address a rented kitchen near a workshop an apprenticeship motorcycle movements ferry and market truck transfers and the use of ordinary residence as a condition of clandestine work.

Black servicemen moved through the formally desegregated Army during the first major U.S. war fought after official military integration. Centered a young black enlisted man the album tracks the life of service through photos at camp soldiers in formation military equipment helicopters and with portraits alongside other soldiers. Though the Korean War was the first U.S. war that was formally desegregated the units still saw unequal integration and opportunity while the Vietnam War marks an era in which a desegregated military was already well established.

Many images show the compiler in uniform and civilian dress some of the earlier home scenes have handwritten inscriptions en verso. Other images show helicopter scenes in flight and at camp; tent lines wooden barracks; soldiers standing in formation gathering in small groups and posing beside military vehicles and equipment. A Virginia license plate anchors the soldier's home state and the use of quippy captions gives this soldier a voice identifying some individuals by their first name and one particular youthful photo of himself captioned "Dunn will be leaving on January the 1st army But you know he is trying to get out of it said he was going to school. Ha! Ha! Uncle Sam's school" giving a glimpse into the prior aspirations of young Black man right before being drafted.

This album gives weight to that history with repeated presence of black men within camps and comradeship with white soldiers. Adhesive residue to corners and backs of some images edgewear to album and leaves and expected handling wear; photographs generally clear and legible. Overall very good condition. This album shows the ground level of Black military experience in the early post segregation Army. unknown
