{"value"=>"<p>The series reflects Browne's long-term commitment to influence the United States government to withdraw its troops from Vietnam. Correspondence with officials and others, including <em>The New York Times</em>, detail Browne's position, including his conviction that U. S. policy supporting Vietnam's President Diem was erroneous. Notes and an annotated incomplete manuscript, written in approximately 1962, for an unfinished book on Vietnam provides historical background on French involvement in the country and United States aid dating to the 1950's. Diaries document two trips he took to Vietnam in 1967 and 1978 to observe the changes that had occurred in the country. Other writings include unpublished and published articles by Browne, and published material on his involvement in Vietnam. There is also printed matter about the war in Vietnam, the anti-war protests, and African-American involvement as both soldier and protester. A poster with the caption \"Uncle Sam Needs <em>You</em> Nigger\" completes the series.</p>"}
