How U.S. laws were used in Vietnam by U.S. military.
First published in 1975. From the preface: "The purpose of this
monograph is to describe the presence of law at a particular time
and in a particular American command in Vietnam. I have selected
the U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, as the headquarters,
and the crucial years of 1964 through 1966 as the primary but not
exclusive period of time to study, partly because as the senior
legal officer, the Staff Judge Advocate at Military Assistance
Command, Vietnam, then, I was most familiar with events, but in the
main because it was in that headquarters and at that time that
basic policy positions were formed. It was early apparent that law
could have a special role in Vietnam because of the unusual
circumstances of the war, which was a combination of internal and
external war, of insurgency and nation-building, and of development
of indigenous legal institutions and rapid disintegration of the
remnants of the colonial French legal establishment. Further, the
Vietnamese people were eager for knowledge of American
institutions, including law."
