VINTAGE SIGNED 1966 Trade Paperback Early Vietnam War Text & Photos. "Vietnam! Vietnam! In Photographs & Text" by Felix Greene. HARDCOVER 1966 Fulton Publishing Company 1st edition Stated "2nd printing, October 1966" on copyright page. Nice Collectible SIGNED Trade Paperback Exactly as shown in listing scan(s). UNCOMMON SIGNED VIETNAM WAR TITLE; ONLY ONE SIGNED COPY ON THE INTERNET AT THE TIME OF LISTING.

"Published at the time when the Vienna War was 1st being escalated, before the war was not a household word. A small obscure press anti-war book put together and written by the British journalist Felix Greene in 1966. Extensively researched. Greene includes an extensive collection of quotes by US French and Vietnamese government entities and political figures. Written in 1966, it's amazing how much information was actually accessible at the time but that was somehow unnoticed by so many people. There are lots of photographs too, but the real impressive stuff is the historical facts and discussion of the circumstance that Greene supplies. He even provides the the Summery of the Ten-Point Program of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam (announced as of December 20, 1960) and the Four Points of the Democratic Republic of (North) Vietnam (1965). In photographs and documents the anatomy of a war that still stains the conscience of mankind. Over all a fascinating time capsule."

SIGNED ON HALF TITLE PAGE: "FELIX GREENE."

FELIX GREENE (1909-1985) was a noted British journalist who chronicled several communist countries in the 1960s and 1970s. He was one of the first & few Western reporters to visit North Vietnam when he travelled there for the "San Francisco Chronicle" in the 1960s. He first visited China for the BBC in 1957. Greene produced several non fiction works on his travels, including "One Man's China," "Tibet," "Cuba ya!," "Vietnam! Vietnam!" and "Inside North Viet Nam." Right-wing critics have accused him of presenting a one-sided view of those communist societies. "The Wall Street Journal" argued that Greene purposely hid negative information about the extent of starvation in China, and called him a "Fellow Traveller". Commander R. W. Herrick of the US Navy reviewed "A Curtain of Ignorance", writing, "There can be no question but that [Greene] set out deliberately to "prove" his contentions that practically everything having to do with Communist China and its policies is good, while Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist regimes are unmitigatedly bad. Yet, once the reader understands and allows for this bias, this book is eminently worth reading." Herrick agreed with Greene's observation that "... on matters where great national feelings are aroused, scholars and experts are just as likely as the rest of us to allow their judgments to be swayed by the prevailing climate of opinion." In the 1970s, Greene went to Dharamsala to visit the Dalai Lama, who recalled that after three days of discussion, Greene's pro leftist attitude had changed. He was a cousin of the famed British author Graham Greene."
