Obviously, there are thousands of US / Australian sources, but in keeping with the theme of the workshop, I am presenting here only Vietnamese based sources … except for this one by Henry Kissinger on the Vietnam negotiations, Foreign Affairs, Jan 1969 as a plug for Foreign Affairs, which I think is well worth the digital subscription (about US$40pa) for its access to archived material since 1922)
