| Summary | The collection consists of 72 maps, and the most unique among them is an annotated map of the Battle of Tan Canh that occurred during the U.S. drawdown from the war in 1972. The other items include a disbound atlas of South Vietnam; various maps of North and South Vietnam; and U.S. military maps of South Vietnam and Cambodia. The materials appear to have been used by Sheehan in preparation of his 1988 book, A Bright Shining Lie: John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam. |
