Dalley Book Service
"My speciality is the Vietnam War with particular interest in Laos, a pawn
in the war. I worked in Laos from 1962-1965 with A.I.D. and served as a
Provincial Representative in Borkihane Province which accounts for my
interest in Laos. Currently, I am working on a book focusing on how
various U.S. agencies influenced the internal politics of Laos. I am most
interested in sharing research sources with other researchers and I am
particularly interested in reprinting via photocopy studies, reports, etc.
that would be of benefit to other researchers. In my listing of books
under the subjects of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, you will note the type
of research material that I am reprinting. Strong customer response to
these publications is indicative of the large number of people who are
doing original research on the Vietnam War." (From George Dalley's Home
