Thompson, and Tom Wolfe. Didion's career began in the 1950s after she won an essay contest sponsored by Vogue magazine. Her writing during the 1960s through the late 1970s engaged audiences in the realities of the counterculture of the 1960s, the Hollywood lifestyle, California culture, and California history. Didion's political writing in the 1980s and 1990s often concentrated on the subtext of political and social rhetoric. In 1991, she wrote the earliest mainstream media article to suggest the Central Park Five had been wrongfully convicted. In 2005, Didion won the National Book Award for Nonfiction and was a finalist for both the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize for The Year of Magical Thinking, a memoir of the year following the death of her husband, writer John Gregory Dunne. She later adapted the book into a play that premiered on Broadway in 2007. In 2013, she was awarded the National Humanities Medal by President Barack Obama. Didion was profiled in the Netflix documentary entitled, The Center Will Not Hold, directed by her nephew Griffin Dunne, in 2017. More

Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1967. Book Club Edition. Hardcover. 288 pages. Illustrations. Map. Tabular data. Several pages creased. DJ has some wear, tears and soiling. Preface by Dorothy Fall. The author was killed in South Vietnam in 1967. After his death, his widow, Dorothy Fall, selected the pieces published in this book. Bernard B. Fall (November 19, 1926 – February 21, 1967) was a prominent war correspondent, historian, political scientist, and expert on Indochina during the 1950s and 1960s. He started fighting for the French Resistance at the age of 16 and later for the French Army during World War II. In 1950, he first came to the United States for graduate studies at Syracuse University and Johns Hopkins University. He taught at Howard University for most of his career and made regular trips to Southeast Asia to learn about changes and their societies. He predicted the failures of France and the United States in their wars in Vietnam because of their tactics and lack of understanding of the societies. He was killed by a landmine in South Vietnam while he was accompanying US Marines on a patrol in 1967. Fall was a political scientist but had been a soldier and so spoke the soldier's language and shared soldiers' lives at the frontline. He obtained his data on the war while he slogged through the mud of Vietnam with French colonial troops, American infantrymen, and ARVN soldiers. He combined academic analysis of Indochina with a infantry/grunt's perspective of the war. Noam Chomsky has called Fall "the most respected analyst and commentator on the Vietnam War." More
New York, NY: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., 1968. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. 185, [3] pages. Occasional footnotes. DJ has some soiling, wear and small tears to dust jacket. Pencil erasure residue on fep. Includes Forward, Part One: Early Moves for a New U.S. Foreign Policy after World War II; Part Two: Failure in Asia; and Part Three: The Future. As Special Assistant to Secretary of State Cordell Hull in the closing days of World War II; as Chairman of the President's Air Policy Commission in 1947; as Secretary of the Air Force during the Korean war; and as U.S. Ambassador to NATO from 1961-1965, Thomas K. Finletter has been intimately involved in the efforts (successful up to a point) to change the United States position from historical isolation to responsible membership in the world community. Mr. Finletter examines in detail the disastrous American policy in Southeast Asia and particularly Vietnam, which has seriously hurt our hopes of finding a proper substitute for abandoned isolation. Finally he appraises the prospects for avoiding a return to isolation and for checking the downward course which seems to threaten us and to spell failure for our ambitions for an orderly world oriented toward control of the terrible weapons of modern war and toward a world free of the great wars which have plagued mankind all through history.

Just as the Memorial design was given to us by a gifted woman, the Last Firebase was written by a gifted woman. Anthropologist Lydia Fish has worked carefully for four years to assemble and refine the material in this guide. The Guide will serve for decades to help visitors with what has become the most visited memorial in Washington, D.C. Although the Memorial is now a National Park Service site, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund still remains in existence. In addition to putting on the annual Memorial and Veterans Day ceremonies, the Fund is concerned with the care and preservation of the Memorial. Hairline cracks appeared in several of the panels of the Memorial in 1984. In the fall of 1986 the fund had two of the granite panels removed for inspection and reinstalled with gauges to measure temperature stress on the backs. More
