WESTMORELAND, William. REPORT ON THE WAR IN VIETNAM (AS OF 30 JUNE

LETTER SIGNED. (Washington): (Government Printing Office), [1969]. First 
Edition. SECTION I: REPORT ON AIR AND NAVAL CAMPAIGNS....; SECTION II: 
REPORT ON OPERATIONS IN SOUTH VIETNAM. Illustrated with photographs and 
color folding maps. INSCRIBED by General William Westmoreland to William 
Bundy and dated March 1969: "To- Bill Bundy--/With appreciation of 
your/valued assistance and/counsel./Westy/W. C. Westmoreland." 
Westmoreland was commander of U.S. military operations in Vietnam from 
1964 - 1968 and played an aggressive role in the escalation of ground 
troops in Vietnam. William Bundy had a long, distinguished service in 
the government in the CIA and in the Defense Department. He was 
appointed Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs in March 
1964. His brother McGeorge was Special Assistant for National Security 
Affairs to Kennedy and Johnson from 1961-1966. Both are considered 
primary architects of America's involvement in Vietnam. In THE BEST AND 
THE BRIGHTEST, David Halberstam stated that during the Kennedy and 
Johnson administrations, William Bundy's name "would probably be on more 
pieces of paper dealing with Vietnam over a seven-year period than 
anyone else's." Laid in are a 1969 TYPED LETTER to Bundy from 
Westmoreland SIGNED as "Westy" with a copy of the Index to the Report 
and eight photocopied pages of answers by Westmoreland to questions 
about Vietnam posed by a journalist. A fine association copy linking two 
important figures in America's Vietnam policy. Near Fine. (#012746)
