1969réf. 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.

Paley forbid the Museum to associate its name with this poster. Do the Trustees approve of the massacre" stamped twice in the image lower right. One of the true icons of Twentieth Century American protest art this poster created by the Art Workers Coalition under the guidance of Fraze Dougherty Jon Hendricks and Irving Petlin was issued to bring attention to the horrendous My Lai massacre of March 1968. The photograph by Ron Haeberle originally appeared in Life Magazine. The Museum of Modern Art had originally promised to underwrite the poster's creation and to donate paper and printing costs - but later abandoned the project under the objections of board President William S. Paley. The AWC still managed to print fifty thousand copies which they distributed for free. As a response to MoMA's backing out of the project an unknown number of the posters were rubber-stamped with the message quoted above and a demonstration was held inside the museum in front of Picasso's Guernica where copies of the poster were unfurled and given away. These events are recorded in a 2015 interview with co-creator John Hendricks: ".We had a big meeting of Art Workers' Coalition about how we should address their MoMA's reneging of the agreement with us. It was decided to make a rubber stamp.saying "This is the poster that the Museum of Modern Art agreed to do jointly with Art Workers' Coalition and Bill Paley and Arthur Drexler refused to do" or something like that. So we stamped as many posters as we could with that stamp. Then we had a number of demonstrations in front of the museum and inside in front of Guernica." interview with William Twersky WT_History Blog April 2015.

With 17pp. of photographs to the middle of the book taken by the author including a sequence of images of the Buddhist monk Thich Quang Duc self immolating in Saigon on June 11th 1963 the capturing of which event gained Browne lasting recognition and won him a Pulitzer. Another rather more significant effect of Browne's photograph is that by the morning of June 12th John F. Kennedy had the photograph on his desk pointed at it and bluntly told US Ambassador to Vietnam Henry Cabot Lodge who contributed the preface to this book "This sort of thing has got to stop." Whilst that might sound like a relatively mild response to the suicide by fire of a respected holy man it effectively signalled the end of US support for the Ngo Dinh Diem regime and changed the course of the next ten years of conflict and upheaval.

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

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.

1964réf. 62766Washington D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office 1964. Reprint. 8vo. 23cm x 15cm. Publisher's original buff card covers titled in black to spine and front cover some light marginal shelfwear but generally the only significant defect is some grubbiness to the light coloured card.

An incredibly detailed and forensically focussed survey of every aspect at least the aspects US intelligence and its civilian analysts had access to of Vietnamese life culturesocial structure economy geography religion and all points between. Everything from GDP to styles of dance and whether the suburbs of Saigon had adequate garbage collection services is examined along with a large amount of military and population data. One could be forgiven for thinking that by 1962 the US Army had already decided that large scale military involvement in Vietnam was a foregone conclusion. U.S. Government Printing Office unknown
1966réf. 62733New 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: "Mimi and Marguerite with the deep love and affection of The Kruegers Dec. 4 1966 Carl Krueger Ida Krueger" 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.

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.
