Reprint. 8vo. 23cm x 15cm. Publisher's original buff card covers, titled in black to spine and front cover, some light marginal shelfwear, but generally the only significant defect is some grubbiness to the light coloured card. A very good, strong copy. 513pp. Internally clean. 2 folding maps and numerous in text diagrams, maps, and charts. An incredibly detailed and forensically focussed survey of every aspect (at least the aspects US intelligence and its civilian analysts had access to) of Vietnamese life, culture,social structure, economy, geography, religion and all points between. Everything from GDP to styles of dance and whether the suburbs of Saigon had adequate garbage collection services is examined, along with a large amount of military and population data. One could be forgiven for thinking that by 1962 the US Army had already decided that large scale military involvement in Vietnam was a foregone conclusion.
