Original Psychological Leaflets of the Vietnam War: Communist NLF Leaflet

Description: Original Psychological Leaflet of the Vietnam War: National Liberation Front (NLF) Leaflet - RARE After 56 years, I've chosen to put my personal Vietnam War-era memorabilia collection up for sale. Among these items is this original psychological leaflet. As a combat photographer and reporter during the Vietnam War, I chronicled the war in pictures and newspaper articles. My curiosity led me to collect peculiar pieces of paper during my treks through South Vietnam, which were psychological warfare leaflets. Though I couldn't read Vietnamese, these leaflets intrigued me. Finding them myself was an exciting experience, given my familiarity with them from World War II. After returning home, I put away my collection and only brought it out for speaking engagements at schools and events. Audience members often inquired about the messages on the leaflets, but the Vietnamese messages remained a mystery to me for nearly 40 years until I published my book "The Psychological Leaflets of the Vietnam War".There were three categories of psychological warfare leaflets; Persuasive Leaflet: To convince the reader to adopt a belief or take specific action. Informative Leaflet: To provide factual information and educate the reader. And Persuasive Leaflet: To convince the reader to adopt a belief or take specific action. This particular leaflet is a National Liberation Calendar Leaflet. I guarantee the authenticity of this leaflet.
