Topics covered include The American Discovery of Vietnam; The Franco--Viet Minh War; and Going It Alone. Also includes 86 black and white illustrations in the text. The author of a widely red history of the Vietnam conflict observed that "in a sense we discovered Vietnam in 1954." This American discovery came about as a result of the imminent collapse of French power in Indochina. The factors involved in the French collapse went back many years, and in some respects centuries, before the 1950s. These factors, while clear enough to present-day historians, were not at all obvious to the American leaders of the 1950s, who for the most part lacked a knowledge of Vietnamese culture and history.

This report describes the effects of the atomic bombs which were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively. It summarizes all the authentic information that is available on damage to structures, injuries to personnel, morale effect, etc., which can be released at this time without prejudicing the security of the United States.
