Why does the Vietnam Center and Archive Website look like this?

Individual Collection
Location: Individual Collections-C

Less than one linear foot of 14 reel-to-reel audiotapes, one book, one manuscript, and nine volumes of the Ethnographic Study Series: Selected Groups in the Republic of Vietnam document various ethnic groups in the Republic of Vietnam and Dr. John Campbell's tour of duty as a Psychological Operations Advisor to five different provinces of the Republic of Vietnam. The manuscript, entitled “Are we Winning? Are They Winning? A Civilian Advisor's Reflections on Wartime Vietnam” was written by Campbell in 2002. The audio tapes are from the Vietnam Conflict-era and contain “easy listening” music and Psychological Warfare messages.

Dr. John Campbell came from academe (four degrees in Social Sciences) and returned to academe, teaching International Affairs or directing programs abroad for California State Universities, University of Maryland and Southern Methodist University after a decade and a half with the Defense Department, State Department and US Information Agency. In Vietnam after a tour as Psychological Operations Advisor to five provinces he returned and initiated the nationwide "Van Tac Vu" propaganda through entertainment program with fifteen Vietnamese teams gaining the Agencies "Superior Honor Award." This program preceded the pacification effort by six months being the first attempt to operate in the rural area beyond the security of province capitals. He currently divides his active retirement between Spain and California.
