A very good, tidy copy. 128pp. Internally clean. A collection of letters sent home from US military personnel serving in Vietnam, originally published in "This Week Magazine."

A little scuffed and edgeworn, with some light soiling to the orange card, otherwise strong and bright. Amongst other articles dealing with socialist issues of the day, there is a piece entitled "A Third Way to End The War in Vietnam" by Vietnamese emigre Tran Van Dinh, ex soldier for Vietnamese freedom from the French and Japanese, Foreign Service dignitary and former Vietnames Ambassador to the United States, who makes the very interesting point that the majority of the Vietnamese population were peasant farmers, and "there are only two images which are close to the peasants, the Buddhist Monk, and the Viet Cong cadre. Both are austere, both are uncorrupted. The Viet Cong is feared and admired, but the Buddhist Monk is loved and trusted. The Viet Cong has power, the Monk has sincerity." The implication clearly being that the winning of hearts and minds should be away from one and towards the other, rather than towards an entirely new, unknown and unrespected third power.…

First Edition. 8vo. 23.5cm x 15cm. Publisher's yellow pictorial card covers titled and decorated in red to spine and covers.

The first printing of a much reprinted after action analysis of seven notable firefights in Vietnam between 1965 and 1968. Primarily intended to give "a measure of vicarious experience" as Brigadier General Pattison states in his foreword, this slim volume offers eyewitness accunts, expert assessment of strategy, good and bad, and perhaps most valuably considering that when this pamphlet was issued the war would continue for another 5 years, an idea of how diverse and potentially unconventional military encounters in Vietnam could be.…

First Edition. Octavo. Staple-bound pamphlet; printed card wrappers; 16pp. First (apparently only) issue. Mild external wear; internally fine. All content appears to have been produced by Kauffman, including the opening piece "Russia Sits This Out", a data heavy if frenetic, opinion piece concerning the foolishness of the idea that fighting in Vietnam will slow down the progress of Russia or China in any way. We find no evidence that a second issue ever appeared.…

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.…
