Documento DD/7/12 - Letter from John T. McAlister Jr. to Dennis J. Duncanson - 14 July 1968

A letter from John T. McAlister Jr. to Dennis J. Duncanson with an enclosed copy of his review in The New York Times Book Review of Duncanson's book 'Government and Revolution in Vietnam'. McAlister apologies to Duncanson for not writing sooner and explains that his involvement in Senator Robert Kennedy's campaign did not provide any free time to correspond.

McAlister writes that he has enclosed several items for Duncanson's attention: the first item is a piece that he wrote on mountain minorities which Duncanson had enquired about, the second is a copy of McAlister's testimony before Senator Fulbright's Foreign Relations Committee of the U.S. Senate and the third is McAlister's book review of Duncanson's 'Government and Revolution in Vietnam'. McAlister writes that although their opinions of Vietnam differ, it is of a scholarly nature and that Duncanson may, in turn, have the chance to review his own forthcoming book.
