Viet Nam: An Enigma
(n.p.), The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Companies, 1965. The case for and against U.S. involvement in Vietnam, authored by a Jesuit priest "at the request of The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Companies for the private information of some of their employees" -- an early publication on the war, done during the first year of the U.S. "escalation" and the shift from an advisory role to direct combat with the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese. 113 pages of analysis, with the prescient conclusion that a long-range, consistent U.S. policy needs to be bipartisan so that international commitments don't waver with the Presidency. Near fine in wrappers, with some wrinkling to the rear cover, apparently caused by the glue holding the pocket on the inside rear cover, which holds a map. No copies listed in OCLC. [#036565] $350
