War Collection is a compilation of _Current News_, a Defense Department
publication given to the Library as an addition to the Sheehan Papers by Peter
Braestrup in 1992. Papers received after 1993 remain on deposit and have been
organized as a separate series entitled Professional File.
The status of copyright in the unpublished writings of Neil Sheehan is

***
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The Neil Sheehan Papers span the years ca. 1920-1993 with the bulk of
the material ranging from 1960 to 1993. The collection is organized into two
series. Material relating to Sheehan's prize-winning history, _A Bright
Shining Lie: John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam_, is organized as the Vann-
Sheehan Vietnam War Collection. Material relating to Sheehan's career as a
journalist for United Press International in Asia, 1961-64, and the _New York
Times_, 1964-72, and as an author of other books and articles on the Vietnam
War, 1964-92, is organized in a Professional File.
The Vann-Sheehan Vietnam War Collection includes publication records for
_A Bright Shining Lie_, a research file, interviews and notes, official
documents, and a _Current News_ file containing issues of the Defense
Department's compilation of press clippings published during the war. The
arrangement reflects the organization established by Sheehan as he studied and
wrote about the Vietnam War and John Paul Vann.
The biographical element of _A Bright Shining Lie_ is based on Vann's
personal papers given to Sheehan by the family. Declassified copies of
documents relating to Vann were acquired by Sheehan through the Freedom of
Information Act from the United States Military History Institute at Carlisle
Barracks, Pennsylvania. Vann's papers document his activities in Vietnam, his
military career prior to Vietnam, his family and personal life, his civilian
work for the Martin Company in Denver, and his political affiliations,
especially his involvement in the 1964 presidential campaign. Vann's
correspondents include Joseph Alsop, Huynh Van Cao, Tran Ngoc Chau, William
Egan Colby, Daniel Ellsberg, David Halberstam, Paul D. Harkins, Henry
Kissinger, Robert W. Komer, Victor H. Krulak, Edward Geary Lansdale, Richard
M. Nixon, Maxwell D. Taylor, and Nguyen Van Thieu.
Papers documenting Vann's military career primarily concern his service
in Vietnam as an army lieutenant colonel appointed senior advisor to the South
Vietnamese army (ARVN) in the Mekong River delta. Reports and memoranda for
the Ap Bac battle and Dan Tien operations in 1962-63, along with Vann's
correspondence and press accounts by Sheehan and David Halberstam, document
Vann's criticism of the South Vietnamese government and armed forces and his
advocacy of political reform and direct military intervention by the United
States. Viewed with increasing disfavor by the American command staff, Vann
retired from the army soon after completing his Vietnam tour of duty in 1963.
The war remained a central concern for Vann, and in 1965 when American
combat troops were sent to fight in southeast Asia, he joined the action as a
State Department pacification official. Vann's Agency for International
Development records document his work from 1965 to 1972 with the pacification
program. Vann and his colleagues wanted to "harness" a social revolution to
the United States war effort, and their proposals (see especially, "Harnessing
the Revolution" in container 48), policy statements, reports, training
manuals, and correspondence document the instruction given to the Vietnamese
in self-defense, fighting insurgents, intelligence gathering, and suggestions
for efficient representative government.
Vann's quick rise through the ranks of the pacification program was
based on his grasp of military objectives and his extensive field knowledge of
war developments. In 1971 he was appointed to an unprecedented civilian
command of troops defending the Central Highlands against a long-awaited
attack by North Vietnamese regular forces. Records for the defense of Kontum,
Plieku, and other battles of the North Vietnamese army's 1972 Easter offensive
are in the Vann subseries, Region II files. Supplemental documentation can be
found in the Vietnam subseries under North Vietnam offensives and the
Individuals subseries in files for soldiers who worked with Vann to defend the
Central Highlands.
Sheehan's primary sources on the Vietnam War for _A Bright Shining Lie_
include the Pentagon Papers and other official documents, supplemented by
interviews and supporting records provided by key participants. When Sheehan
was a reporter for the _New York Times_ in 1971, he obtained copies of the
Pentagon Papers from Daniel Ellsberg. The term "Pentagon Papers" was coined
by the _New York Times_ to describe the forty-seven volume "History of U.S.
Decision-Making Process on Vietnam Policy, 1945-1967" compiled at the Pentagon
upon the request of Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara. This multivolume
work is an annotated compilation or summary of relevant government documents,
most of them classified, with introductory essays by various government
analysts. Sheehan's Pentagon Papers file, listed as part of the Official
Documents subseries, includes photocopied portions of government documents
which remain classified and thus are stored separately. His copy of volumes
one and two of the House Committee on Armed Services Pentagon Papers edition,
published as _United States-Vietnam Relations, 1945-1967_, is annotated to
mark censored passages. Notes relating to the Pentagon Papers can be found in
_Bright Shining Lie_ publication records and throughout the Research File
especially under Ellsberg in the Individuals subseries and in the Subject File
subseries. Publication of the Pentagon Papers by the _New York Times_ in
1971, and subsequently by Bantam Books and Beacon Press, is documented in the
second series of the collection, the Professional File.
Sheehan's Research File of papers from military and civilian personnel
includes government memoranda and documents, letters, orders, command
guidance, and studies dealing with Vann and the Vietnam War. Richard Ziegler
gave his journal documenting the ARVN Seventh Infantry Division in 1962-63,
and Daniel Ellsberg provided Sheehan with copies of reports and position
papers, as did other RAND analysts such as Charles Benoit. Papers were
contributed by Tran Ngoc Chau, a Vietnamese politician who was tried for
treason by the Nguyen Van Thieu government in South Vietnam. Sheehan also
obtained reports from Vann's commanders and copies of documents from various
archives. Fellow news correspondents, especially David Halberstam, gave
Sheehan copies of interview notes. These materials, along with Sheehan's
notes and clippings, are distributed by subject throughout the Research File.
While writing _A Bright Shining Lie_, Sheehan interviewed more than four
hundred Americans, Vietnamese, and foreign news correspondents. The
interviews are documented in nearly two hundred stenographic notebooks, six
hundred audiocassette tapes, and typed summaries of more than one hundred
interview tapes. Correspondence clarifying points raised in interviews and
other supporting documentation can occasionally be found in the Research File.
Among those interviewed were generals Ly Tong Ba, Huynh Van Cao, William E.
DePuy, Pham Van Dong, Ngo Dzu, Victor H. Krulak, Edward Geary Lansdale,
William C. Westmoreland, and Robert H. York; reporters Joseph Alsop, Peter
Braestrup, and David Halberstam; White House and executive branch officials,
including Ellsworth Bunker, George Christian, William Egan Colby, Philip
Charles Habib, Robert W. Komer, and Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr; analysts such as
Daniel Ellsberg; and politicians such as Tran Ngoc Chau.
The Professional File in the collection documents Sheehan's broader
career as a journalist and author. The Books and Articles subseries contains
publication records and research files. Material relating to _After the War
Was Over_ includes interviews conducted in 1989 of Vietnamese who were
consulted by Sheehan years earlier for _A Bright Shining Lie_. Sheehan's _New
York Times_ file documents his career with the newspaper. His first
assignment was with the metropolitan desk, but he was soon reassigned to
Indonesia where he reported on the crisis surrounding President Achmed
Soekarno and the military's suppression of a communist-led uprising in 1965.
Sheehan then returned to Vietnam as a war correspondent. After 1966, he
covered the war from Washington. As a Pentagon and national security
reporter, Sheehan was responsible for Defense Department issues in general and
for the war in Vietnam from a political perspective.
The _New York Times_ file reflects the conflict and symbiosis inherent
between a democratic government and the press. It also documents the
evolution of Sheehan's own stand on the Vietnam War. Sheehan's position
evolved from the stance he espoused in a widely read 1966 article, "Not a Dove
But No Longer a Hawk," to more thorough opposition to the war later,
especially after reading and reporting on the Pentagon Papers.
The _New York Times_ file documents aspects of the decision to publish
excerpts of the Pentagon Papers and the bitter legal battle which ensued. The
Books and Articles file includes publication records for the one-volume Bantam
Books version, edited by Sheehan, and later reissued by Quadrangle Press.
Sheehan's copy of volumes 1-3 of the Beacon Press publication of the Pentagon
Papers, known as the "Senator `Mike' Gravel" edition, is annotated to mark
censored passages. The files include correspondence, memoranda, notes,
speeches, and records of legal proceedings, the Justice Department
investigation, press coverage, and journalism prizes.
The United Press International--Indochina subseries includes business
records of the Saigon bureau but is predominately a file of Sheehan's
dispatches from South Vietnam for 1962-64. Sheehan's dispatches are in the
form of telegraphic transmissions some of which are coded. As a cost-saving
measure, routine news was sent by cast account; urgent stories and bulletins
were sent as cables. The dispatches offer a detailed record of war reporting
during the period when United States advisors, including John Paul Vann,
assisted the South Vietnamese government in combating insurgents.
Vietnamese names in the collection are alphabetized by the last part of
the given name. The family name is the first element, as in Ngo and Vo for
Ngo Dinh Diem and Vo Nguyen Giap. Sheehan followed tradition in referring to
the Vietnamese by the last part of their given names, as in Diem and Giap.
His alphabetization has been preserved even though it differs from name
authority standards of the Library of Congress which cite family names first.
