Wraps. Condizione: Very good. No dust jacket. 12 pages. 28 cm. Illustrations. Includes a cover review article of Nguyen Khac Vien's Tradition and Revolution in Vietnam by Franz Schurmann. From Wikipedia: "Nguyen Khac Vien (Huong S n, 5 February 1913-10 May 1997) was a Vietnamese historian, literary critic, sometime dissident, and advocate of a Vietnamese health exercise duong sinh similar to Yoga. Vien was a party member formerly in charge of external propaganda and statements to foreign press. However his circulating of criticism of the government in the 1970s led to a ban on his writings till the early 90s." From Wikipedia: "Herbert Franz Schurmann (June 21, 1926 August 20, 2010) was an American sociologist and historian who was best known for his research and writings about Communist China during the Cold War period. He taught at the University of California, Berkeley in the Departments of Sociology and History for 38 years, and he also served a term as the head of the Center for Chinese Studies. He was an early opponent of the Vietnam war, and was the first American professor to visit Hanoi during the bombing raids there. He co-founded the Pacific News Service in 1970 together with author Orville Schell, serving as editor and commentator, and wrote the weekly "Predictions" column. Schurmann was born on June 21, 1926, in Astoria, Queens and grew up in Bloomfield, Connecticut. He developed fluency in as many as 12 languages, acquiring them from his Slovenian father who spoke five languages himself, his mother who was an immigrant from Germany and from the dialects spoken in the melting pot community where he was raised. He briefly attended Trinity College in nearby Hartford, Connecticut. He was drafted by the United States Army during World War II and was assigned to learn Japanese, serving as a newspaper censor during the American Occupation of Japan. He befriended Stefan Brecht during his Army service and met Thomas Mann and other German emigres at the California home of Stefan's father Bertolt Brecht. After completing his military service he was awarded a Ph.D. in Asian studies from Harvard University, which he was able to attend using his G.I. Bill benefits as a veteran. During the late 1950s, Schurmann spent two years exploring Afghanistan on horseback, where he documented a blue-eyed, blond-haired tribe that descended from the invasions by Genghis Khan, a history that he recounted in his 1962 book The Mongols of Afghanistan: An Ethnography of the Moghols and Related Peoples of Afghanistan. He was an early opponent of the Vietnam War, founding the Berkeley Faculty Peace Committee in 1965 and visiting North Vietnam with author and political activist Mary McCarthy in 1968. In 1967, Schurmann authored a letter declaring his intention to refuse to pay taxes in protest against the U.S. war against Vietnam, and urging other people to also take this stand. His major work Ideology and Organization in Communist China, was published in 1966, just as Mao's Cultural Revolution was starting, and was revised and enlarged in 1968 and 1971. A widely influential analysis, the book applied the sociological insights of Max Weber to interviews Schurmann conducted in Hong Kong with refugees and wide reading in Chinese newspapers and documents. The book demonstrates how Mao Zedong's "dialectical conception of Chinese society" structured his organizational approach to the Chinese Communist Party and the government. The book argued that a "consistent yet changing ideology" created a web of organization which covered and penetrated all aspects of Chinese society, building from the 1930s. He edited the three-volume series The China Reader with Orville Schell, a student of his who became an author and China expert in his own right. Together with Schell, he established the Pacific News Service in 1970, with the goal of providing Americans with more detailed coverage of news from Asia and Latin America. The service created New America Media in 1996, a multimedia ethnic news agency and a coalit.…

Wraps. Condizione: Good. No dust jacket. 12 p. 28 cm. Illustrations. Footnotes. Includes a cover story article by Tran Van Dinh on the Vietnam People's Army. From Wikipedia: "Tran Van Dinh (Hue, 1923-Washington, D.C. 4 October 2011) was an American Vietnamese diplomat, author, professor of international politics and communications at Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Tran Van Dinh was born and raised in Hue, the former imperial capital of Vietnam. He came from a family of Confucian scholars, Buddhist philosophers and Taoist poets. In his youth, he participated in the anti-colonial struggle against the French. Later, he became a diplomat and has served in Thailand, Burma (Minister plenipotentiary), the United Nations (observer), Argentina, Mexico (nonresident ambassador) and the United States of America (Minister Counselor, Chargé d'affaires). After serving for 10 years in the Vietnamese diplomatic service in Southeast Asia, Tran Van Dinh joined the Embassy of Vietnam in Washington, D.C. in 1961. From their post in Washington, the Van Dinhs took in the events of the growing Civil Rights Movement, in particular the 300, 000 person March on Washington led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. These events would have a profound impact on their relationship with the United States, and would foreshadow their own immersion into the ongoing struggle for liberation around the globe. In 1963, Tran was in charge of the Vietnamese Embassy in Washington, D.C. as well as non-resident Ambassador to Argentina. He resigned at the end of 1963 to pursue full-time his passion for peace and social justice work. This included teaching courses in Asian Humanism at the State University of New York/Old Westbury and the Dag Hammarskjold College at Columbia, Maryland. From 1971 to 1985, he taught International Politics and Communications and chaired the Department of Pan-African Studies at Temple University. His wife is Nuong Van Dinh Tran. While Tran was pursuing his work in the political and academic arenas, Nuong was exploring her many interests in the world of visual art. Nuong Van-Dinh Tran, a Fine Art artist, was trained as a painter and a printmaker at the Corcoran School of Art, and earned her MFA at the George Washington University. Nuong Van-Dinh Tran, a Founding Member of the Washington Printmakers Gallery, has her work featured in The National Museum of Women in the Arts, The National Museum of American Art, The Smithsonian Institution, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, The Library of Congress Fine Prints Collection, the Permanent Collection of the Pushkin Museum, Moscow, and in many private collections. His publications include hundreds of articles and essays, two major textbooks: Independence Liberation Revolution: An Approach to the Understanding of The Third World; Communication and Diplomacy in a Changing World. He also wrote two novels about the Vietnam War: No Passenger on the River (1965) and Blue Dragon White Tiger (1983). He was a contributor (for Asia) and editorial advisor to The International Encyclopedia of Communications. In recent years, he frequently visited Southeast Asia and Vietnam and has written an article on his native city of Hue in the November 1989 issue of the National Geographic Magazine. He co-authored an Insight Guides book on Vietnam which was translated into several languages (including German and French)." Presumed first edition/first printing this issue.…

From Wikipedia: "Gareth Porter (born June 18, 1942) is an American historian, investigative journalist, author and policy analyst specializing in U.S. national security policy. He was active as a Vietnam specialist and anti-war activist during the Vietnam War, serving as Saigon Bureau Chief for Dispatch News Service International from 1970-1971, and later, as co-director of the Indochina Resource Center. He has written several books about the potential for peaceful conflict resolution in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, the most recent of which is Perils of Dominance: Imbalance of Power and the Road to War in Vietnam, an analysis of how and why the United States went to war in Vietnam. He has been criticized for his writings about the Khmer Rouge government in Cambodia. Porter has also written for Al Jazeera English, The Nation, Inter Press Service, The Huffington Post, and Truthout, and he was the 2012 winner of the Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism, which is awarded annually by the Frontline Club in London to acknowledge reporting that exposes propaganda. Porter graduated from the University of Illinois. [5] He received his master's degree in International Politics from the University of Chicago and his Ph.D. in Southeast Asian Studies from Cornell University. He has taught international studies at the City College of New York and American University, and he was the first Academic Director for Peace and Conflict Resolution in the Washington Semester program at American University. Porter was active as a Vietnam specialist and anti-war activist during the Vietnam War. From 1970-1971, he served as the Saigon Bureau Chief for Dispatch News Service International, [8] and later, he was the co-director of the Indochina Resource Center, an anti-war research and education organization based in Washington, D.C. Gareth Porter wrote a series of articles and academic papers challenging President Richard Nixon's statement that there would be a communist "bloodbath" in South Vietnam if the U.S. withdrew its forces. In his 1973 monograph The Myth of the Bloodbath: North Vietnam s Land Reform Reconsidered, he challenges the assertion by Hoang Van Chi, Bernard Fall, and others that North Vietnam's land reform program caused the mass execution of hundreds of thousands of people. His analysis stating that the real number of casualties was much lower is supported by the scholarship of Edwin Moise, but has been challenged by several writers, including Daniel Teoduru, Robert Turner, and Hoang Van Chi. In 1974, Porter wrote a detailed criticism of U.S. Information Agency official Douglas Pike's account of the "Massacre at Hue during the Tet Offensive." A 1970 report by Stephen T. Hosmer utilizing Viet Cong documents suggested that at least 2, 800 persons were killed. Porter claimed that Pike manipulated official figures to make it appear that over 4, 700 civilians were murdered by the Viet Cong, and the numbers and causes of death were actually much different."

From Wikipedia: "The Paris Peace Accords of 1973 intended to establish peace in Vietnam and an end to the Vietnam War, ended direct U.S. military involvement, and temporarily stopped the fighting between North and South Vietnam. The governments of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), and the United States, as well as the Provisional Revolutionary Government (PRG) that represented indigenous South Vietnamese revolutionaries, agreed to the Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam on January 27, 1973. The agreement was not ratified by the U.S. Senate. The negotiations that led to the accord began in 1968 after various lengthy delays.
