                         COMPILERS' NOTE



     This bibliography revises and updates [A Select Biblioqraphy
of the United States Navy and the Southeast Asian Conflict, 1950-
1975], compiled by Edward J. Marolda and G. Wesley Pryce III and
issued in November 1983.  The greater number of titles cited in
the new edition reflects the outpouring of books and articles on
the Vietnam War since 1983.  In addition, because of the growing
attention to the role of women in war, the current edition of the
bibliography presents a new subject category entitled Navy Women.

     A primary object of the earlier version and of the current
work was to provide a bibliography that would enable researchers
to identify the most comprehensive books and articles on the
Navy's overall involvement in the struggle for Southeast Asia
(hence the General Works section).  Another goal was to present
researchers only interested in specific subject areas with the
fullest information on the sources treating those individual
topics.  Thus, some titles reappear in a number of separate
subject categories.  The subject categories were chosen to
emphasize naval combat operations and other significant aspects
of the Navy's experience in the war.

     The books, public documents, and articles cited in the
bibliography can be found in the holdings of the Navy Department
Library, located at the Naval Historical Center.

     We would like to give special thanks to the following
individuals of the Naval Historical Center who advised us on new
titles, reviewed copies of the compilation, and suggested useful
revisions: Dr. Dean C. Allard, Director of Naval History; Dr.
William S. Dudley, Senior Historian: Ms. Regina Akers of the
Operational Archives Branch; Mr. Glenn E. Helm of the Navy
Department Library; Lieutenant Commander Richard R. Burgess of
the [Naval Aviation News] Branch; Dr. Mark Jacobsen and Mr. Dale W.
Andrade of the Contemporary History Branch; and Ms. Sandra J.
Doyle and Mr. Akio J. Stribling of the Editorial Section.

                         TRANSCRIBERS' NOTE

One of the wonderful things about the computer age is the ability
to share information and information sources with other people.
We digitized the work in order that it could be passed along to
anyone who wanted to learn more about the Vietnam war and didn't
want pre-digested chunks of "factoids" but wanted to get the 
facts and make their own decisions about the war.

We have kept the original text complete intact, the only change
being the use of [brackets] instead of underlining for publication
titles to make the file's format as "universal" as possible.

The original index now has a note below each entry to indicate the file
that is related to the chapter.  Retrieving all the files listed and 
putting them together in the order shown in the table of content's will
restore the book to it's orginal form for printing.

If you find any errors in this file, please send a note to one of us
and it will be corrected. (When you scan 100 pages of text, you WILL
get errors.)

Read about the war, and about the men and women who fought and 
who died in it, or survived the war only to die later, or the 
ones who survive to this day wondering if it will kill them yet.
To those who died, and to those who lived, we owe a debt, and it
will be paid only if we honor what they fought for.
