You should use the source material provided and other evidence gathered during your investigative research to complete your answers. Source A From an Internet website, www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk, on opposition to the Vietnam War. As the war continued, more and more Americans turned against it. People were particularly upset by the use of chemical weapons such as napalm and agent orange. In 1967, a group of academics set up the International War Crimes Tribunal. After interviewing many witnesses, they came to the conclusion that the United States was guilty of using weapons against the Vietnamese that were banned by international law. The United States armed forces were also found guilty of torturing captured prisoners and innocent civilians. The Tribunal, and other critics of the war, claimed that the US behaviour in Vietnam was as bad as the atrocities committed by the Nazis in Europe during the Second World War. Source B A photograph showing Kim Phuc running naked along a road, following the dropping of a napalm bomb, June 1972. Source C From a speech by Martin Luther King, 1967. We were taking the young black men who had been crippled by our society and sending them 8000 miles away to guarantee freedom in Southeast Asia which they had not found in Southwest Georgia and East Harlem. We are faced with watching negro and white boys on TV screens as they kill and die together for a nation that has been unable to seat them in the same schools. 8583.06 2 [Turn over Source D A British journalist, John Pilger, describing a demonstration of veterans in Washington, 29 April 1971. The speaker is William Wyman, from New York City. He is nineteen and has no legs. He has ripped away the medals he received in exchange for his legs and to those who form a ring of pity around him, he says: ‘Before I lost my legs, I killed and killed and killed! We all did!’ Never before in this country have young soldiers marched in protest against a war in which they themselves have fought and which is still going on. Source E A cartoon by the British cartoonist Richard Jolley, published in 2003. It is referring to a fi lm about the Vietnam War, Apocalypse Now, in which an American soldier says: ‘I love the smell of napalm in the morning.’ Source F From a letter by Ho Chi Minh to President Johnson, 1967. The US government has committed war crimes, crimes against peace and against mankind. Half a million US troops have used the most inhumane weapons and most barbarous methods of warfare, such as napalm, chemicals and gases to massacre our countrymen, destroy crops and raze villages to the ground. 8583.06 3 [Turn over Source G Statistics showing the human and fi nancial cost of the Vietnam War from The USA 1917–1980, by Nigel Smith, published in 1996. Human cost American: 58,156 dead Vietnamese: 3 million military and civilian dead MIAs (missing in action) American: 1,992 Vietnamese: probably 300,000 Financial cost America: $150 billion North and South Vietnam: amount unknown Troops in action American: nearly 3.5 million (1964–1975) North Vietnamese: 570,000 South Vietnamese: 1.1 million Source H From The Powers That Be by David Halberstam, published in 1979. He is commenting on Morley Safer’s fi lm broadcast in 1965 about a ‘search and destroy’ mission. The American troops walked towards the village in single fi le, everyone fi ring with no return fi re. The only three marines wounded were shot by their own men. The troops tore the village apart and set fi re to the Vietnamese thatched huts. The pictures showed the full force of television – the ability to dramatise, focusing on one incident, one day in the war. Safer’s fi lm prepared the way for a different view of the war among the Americans at large. There was from that time on a greater acceptance of bad news about Vietnam. 8583.06 4 [Turn over Source I A photograph of an anti-war protest in New York City, April 1967. Source J From a History textbook, The Cold War: Superpower Relations, 1945–1989, by Josh Brooman, published in 1997. The Americans did more harm than good to the ordinary people in Vietnam. In their search for the Vietcong, US soldiers often went on ‘search and destroy’ missions, burning the homes and possessions of anyone suspected of helping them. They used chemical sprays to uncover Vietcong supply trails in the jungle, but these chemicals destroyed rice-crops as well as trees. The bombs caused massive destruction; more American bombs fell on Vietnam in three years than fell on Europe in the whole of the Second World War. Although the Vietcong also used extreme cruelty on many occasions, it was the Americans who came to be hated most as the aggressors. 8583.06 5 [Turn over Questions AVAILABLE MARKS 1 Explain how the American media portrayed their country’s involvement in the Vietnam War between 1964 and 1973.

Using all the evidence you have studied (including representations and interpretations), how far would you agree with this interpretation that the use of chemical weapons in Vietnam by the USA was the main reason for the growing opposition of the American people to the war between 1964 and 1973?

    1 HUMAN RIGHTS UNDER VIETNAMESE COMMUNISM A Politically Incorrect Approach Ottawa, February 2001 For Human Rights (Huntington Beach, C.A.) March 2001 Ton That Thien American anti-war writers and Vietnam For decades, the literature on Vietnam was strongly dominated by a coterie of Western - predominantly American – journalists and academics who claimed to be experts on Vietnam. These “experts” were fiercely anti-war revolutionaries determined to bring down South Vietnam for internal American reasons. South Vietnam provided the most convenient focus for the anti-war denunciations and demonstrations. As David Horowitz, one of the most radical leaders of the American anti-war movement wrote in his reflections after the war: “My speech illustrated the real importance of Vietnam to the radical cause, which was not ultimately about Vietnam but about our antagonism to America in our desire for revolution. Vietnam served to justify the desire; we needed the war and its violent images to vindicate our destructive intentions”.1 Typical of the above attitude is the “Indo-China Peace Campaign” organized by the famed actress Jane Fonda, which “worked tirelessly to ensure the victory of the North Vietnamese Communists...Fonda travelled first to Hanoi and then to the liberated zones of South Vietnam to make a propaganda film... it attempted to persuade viewers that the Communists were going to create a new society in the south. Equality and justice awaited its inhabitants if only America would cut off support for the Saigon regime...”2 Another illustration is that of Frances Fitzgerald, author of the best seller and Pulitzer Prize winning book, Fire in the Lake.

Since the war was waged in the TV era, the filmmakers rely less exclusively on the trademark “Ken Burns effect” pans over still images. Since Vietnam was the “living-room war,” played out on the nightly news, this documentary doesn’t show us the fighting with new eyes, the way “The War” did with its unearthed archival World War II footage.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-71826-4 - Rebel Journalism: The Writings of Wilfred Burchett Edited by George Burchett and Nick Shimmin Frontmatter More information Rebel Journalism The Writings of Wilfred Burchett This book is an anthology of the writings of Wilfred Burchett, perhaps the greatest journalist and war correspondent Australia has ever produced. He was also one of the most controversial figures of the Cold War, both here and overseas. Burchett published more than 30 books, and this volume brings together extracts from most of these, spanning the entire breadth of his career, from World War II, through Hiroshima, Eastern Europe, Korea, Russia, Laos, Cambodia, China, Vietnam, Angola, Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) and other areas from which Burchett reported. The book presents these documents of reportage mostly in chronological order, and thus serves not only as a significant historical overview of the period, but also as a reader in Cold War journalism. George Burchett is an artist and translator. In 2005 he co-edited, with Nick Shimmin, Memoirs of a Rebel Journalist: The Autobiography of Wilfred Burchett. Nick Shimmin completed a doctorate at the University of Lancaster in 1989 on the Manx writers T.E. Brown and Hall Caine. Since that time he has worked in sales and marketing and as a subtitling editor at the Special Broadcasting Service. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-71826-4 - Rebel Journalism: The Writings of Wilfred Burchett Edited by George Burchett and Nick Shimmin Frontmatter

  • Framing 'The Other'. a Critical Review of Vietnam War Movies and Their Representation of Asians and Vietnamese.*
    Framing ‘the Other’. A critical review of Vietnam war movies and their representation of Asians and Vietnamese.* John Kleinen W e W ere Soldiers (2002), depicting the first major clash between regular North-Vietnamese troops and U.S. troops at Ia Drang in Southern Vietnam over three days in November 1965, is the Vietnam War version of Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line. Director, writer and producer, Randall Wallace, shows the viewer both American family values and dying soldiers. The movie is based on the book W e were soldiers once ... and young by the U.S. commander in the battle, retired Lieutenant General Harold G. Moore (a John Wayne- like performance by Mel Gibson).1 In the film, the U.S. troops have little idea of what they face, are overrun and suffer heavy casualties. The American GIs are seen fighting for their comrades, not their fatherland. This narrow patriotism is accompanied by a new theme: the respect for the victims ‘on the other side’. For the first time in the Hollywood tradition, we see fading shots of dying ‘VC’ and of their widows reading loved ones’ diaries. This is not because the filmmaker was emphasizing ‘love’ or ‘peace’ instead of ‘war’, but more importantly, Wallace seems to say, that war is noble. Ironically, the popular Vietnamese actor, Don Duong, who plays the communist commander Nguyen Huu An who led the Vietnamese People’s Army to victory, has been criticized at home for tarnishing the image of Vietnamese soldiers. Don Duong has appeared in several foreign films and numerous Vietnamese-made movies about the War.

  • War, Women, Vietnam: the Mobilization of Female Images, 1954-1978
    War, Women, Vietnam: The Mobilization of Female Images, 1954-1978 Julie Annette Riggs Osborn A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: William J. Rorabaugh, Chair Susan Glenn Christoph Giebel Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History ©Copyright 2013 Julie Annette Riggs Osborn University of Washington Abstract War, Women, Vietnam: The Mobilization of Female Images, 1954-1978 Julie Annette Riggs Osborn Chair of the Supervisory Committee: William J. Rorabaugh, History This dissertation proceeds with two profoundly interwoven goals in mind: mapping the experience of women in the Vietnam War and evaluating the ways that ideas about women and gender influenced the course of American involvement in Vietnam. I argue that between 1954 and 1978, ideas about women and femininity did crucial work in impelling, sustaining, and later restraining the American mission in Vietnam. This project evaluates literal images such as photographs, film and television footage as well as images evoked by texts in the form of news reports, magazine articles, and fiction, focusing specifically on images that reveal deeply gendered ways of seeing and representing the conflict for Americans. Some of the images I consider include a French nurse known as the Angel of Dien Bien Phu, refugees fleeing for southern Vietnam in 1954, the first lady of the Republic of Vietnam Madame Nhu, and female members of the National Liberation Front. Juxtaposing images of American women, I also focus on the figure of the housewife protesting American atrocities in Vietnam and the use of napalm, and images wrought by American women intellectuals that shifted focus away from the military and toward the larger social and psychological impact of the war.

    WAR ME DIA JOHN PILGER Cold Type The Heyman Center for the Humanities at Columbia University in New York brought together John Pilger, Seymour Hersh, Robert Fisk and Charles Glass for a discus - sion entitled “Breaking the Silence: War, Lies and Empire” on 14 April 2006. This is a transcript of John Pilger’s address © John Pilger 2006 PAGE 2 JOHN PILGER: WAR BY MEDIA DURING the Cold War, a group of Russian jour - nalists toured the United States. On the final day of their visit, they were asked by their hosts for their impressions. “I have to tell you,” said their spokesman, “that we were as - tonished to find, after reading all the newspapers and watching TV, that all the opinions on all the vital issues were, by and large, the same. To get that result in our country, we imprison people, we tear out their fingernails. Here, you don’t have that. What’s the secret? How do you do it?” What is the secret? It’s a question now urgently asked of those whose job is to keep the record straight: who in this country have extraordinary constitutional freedom. I refer to journalists, of course, a small group who hold privileged sway over the way we think, even the way we use language. I have been a journalist for more than 40 years. Although I am based in London, I have worked all over the world, including the United States, and I have reported America’s wars. My experience is that what the Russian journalists were referring to is censorship by omis - sion, the product of a parallel world of unspoken truth and public myths and lies: in other words, censorship by journalism, which today has become war by journalism.

The series has long been anticipated, not least because Burns is considered by many to be the USA’s greatest living practitioner of the art of factual film. Indeed, his 1990 series on the American Civil War has been lauded as the country’s finest documentary and was the recipient of dozens of awards including two Emmys and two Grammys. Initial reviews of The Vietnam War have generally been positive. In the Guardian, Mark Lawson wrote that the series was, along with Burns’ other work, a broadasting event “that will stand for ever in the history of TV”, while in the Times Chris Bennon said: “This is serious telly. An exhaustive, intellectual series… worth every penny spent in the archives”. There are dissenting voices, though. Nick Turse, an expert on foreign policy and author of several books including Kill Any- thing That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam, states that Burns (and long- term co director Lynn Novick) gloss over the devastating Vietnamese civilian death toll at the hands of US forces.
