"Can a young Marine, body shattered by the weaponry of modern warfare, rebound and turn personal defeat into personal victory? Lieutenant Clebe McClary recounts his courageous story of rebuilding his devastated life. During his tour of duty in Vietnam he suffered the loss of one eye, his left arm, and subsequently underwent 33 operations to retain usage of the remainder of his body. Today Clebe McClary is in the service of the Lord's Army, traveling the world over, attesting to personal faith in Jesus Christ. His life shows that he genuinely embodies a personal vow which he took upon entering the Marines: "Any mission assigned will be accomplished in a superior manner, no matter what the obstacles." - from About the Author.

Inscribed on the half title: "For Bob McNamara - With affectionate recognition that if he had not proved most of it in action, this whole argument would have been very hard to believe, even for his admiring friend. Mac Bundy. Nov. 20, 1968." (Provenance: Robert McNamara Estate & Diane Byfield McNamara Book Collection (The Potomack Company, October 2019). In "The Strength of Government," former National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy argues that the national government is dangerously weak for the job assigned to it by the American people. He believes the rapid changes in communication and technology place an increased burden on the federal government that it is not equipped to handle. In the view of Bundy, the Executive Branch is dangerously weak, with certain departments being held together by "an administrator of truly exceptional force and skill," such as the recipient of this book, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. McGeorge Bundy served as the National Security Advisor for Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson from 1961-1966. Later in life, he joined McNamara as a member of the "Gang of Four," advising the Executive Branch on nuclear policy. Bundy died in 1996. Signed.

In his position as Editor in Chief of Time Inc. Donovan had made four trips to Vietnam to see firsthand the people and places being covered by his correspondents and to get a feel for the situation. He met with Westmoreland in Vietnam in late 1965-early 1966 and probably on his subsequent trips. Westmoreland was the Time Magazine Man of the Year for 1965. Partly reading, "As commander of all U.S. forces in South Viet Nam, General William Childs Westmoreland, 51, directed the historic buildup, drew up the battle plans and infused the 190,000 men under him with his own idealistic view of U.S. aims and responsibilities. He was the sinewy personification of the American fighting man in 1965 who, through the monsoon mud of nameless hamlets, amidst the swirling sand of seagirt enclaves, atop the jungled mountains of the Annamese Cordillera, served as the instrument of U.S. policy, quietly enduring the terror and discomfort of a conflict that was not yet a war, on a battlefield that was all no man's land.

Folio. 1 p. With 5 autograph lines by Francesco Gil de Frederich y Sans. In Latin. An oath renouncing the practice of the Chinese rites, taken by the Dominican missionary as required by the Papal Bull "Ex Quo Singulari" (1742). The oath was sworn on the Bible, and a signed autograph ("manu propria") of the formula had to be produced as evidence. Most of these documents are co-signed by church officials or superior friars as witnesses to an oath sworn in their presence ("in manibus meis"), in this case the fellow Dominican prisoner, who signed by authority of the Vicar Apostolic of Western Tonkin, bishop Louis Néez. - Born in Nava del Rey, Valladolid, Mateo Alonso de Leciniana entered the Dominican convent of Santa Cruz de Segovia in 1723 and was sent to Manila in 1729, where he taught at the Colegio de San Tomas. In 1732, Liciniana was allowed to join the Dominican missions in Vietnam. Despite the severe persecution of Christians, he successfully evangelized for several years until late November 1743, when he was denounced by an apostate and eventually captured in a cave and brought to Hanoi. There, Liciniana joined Francesco Gil de Frederich y Sans, who had been imprisoned since 1737. Throughout their imprisonment they enjoyed some very limited freedom of movement and could even covertly continue their missionary work, but were also subjected to torture and harsh treatment during several trials. The document at hand is a beautiful testimony to the plight of the two Dominicans and the unbroken commitment to their mission. Liciniana's death sentence was originally commuted to life in prison due to the intervention of a sympathetic mandarin, but he asked to be retried in order to share the fate of his Dominican brother. They were exectued on 22 January 1745. Pope Pius X beatified the two martyrs in 1906 and in 1988, they were canonized together with over 100 Vietnamese Martyrs by Pope John Paul II. - During the early years of their mission to East Asia, the Jesuits led by Matteo Ricci accommodated Catholicism to Chinese customs and Confucian practice in important ways, both for political reasons and in the hope of attracting more converts. Criticism of this syncretism is as old as the Chinese rites themselves, and Ricci's direct successor Niccolò Longobardo attempted to change course, which led to his replacement as provincial. When Dominican and Franciscan missionaries entered China, they reported to Rome critically on the Jesuit practices. A first condemnation was decreed by Pope Clement XI in 1704 and confirmed in the 1715 Bull "Ex Illa Die". In "Ex Quo Singulari", Pope Benedict XIV re-affirmed "Ex Illa Die" and required all missionaries in East and South-East Asia to take the oath renouncing the practice of Chinese rites and similar accommodations to local beliefs and religious practice. - With insignificant tears and creases.
