CIA and the Vietnam Policy Makers: Three Episodes 1962–1968
Harold P. Ford, Center for the Study of Intelligence, Central Intelligence Agency.
This site contains a recently-declassified study on the CIA’s intelligence assessments concerning Vietnam, written by Harold P. Ford, former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer, and sponsored by the Center for the Study of Intelligence of the CIA, in 1997. The report assesses CIA intelligence involvement in three episodes between 1962 and 1968, and the effects of this intelligence on U.S. officials’ policymaking. The first episode, from 1962 to 1963, is entitled “Distortions of Intelligence,” and involves what Dr. Ford calls a “policy wish” that colored the formulation of intelligence about the positions of U.S. supported governments in former French-Indochina. The second episode, from 1963 to 1965, outlines the CIA’s judgments on President Lyndon Johnson’s decision to increase involvement in Vietnam. The third episode, from 1967 to 1968, examines the CIA’s intelligence gathering involvement in the Order-of-Battle controversy and the Tet Offensive. Ford concludes that the CIA’s input to policymaking in these three episodes constituted a “mixed picture,” in which there were times when the CIA’s judgment was correct but not heeded and other times when the Agency’s intelligence was used but turned out to be wrong. But he asserts that CIA intelligence was generally better than that of other official contributors. The author used formerly classified CIA documents, personal interviews with participants, documents and other materials in the public domain, and the author’s own experience as senior analyst of Indochina questions for the CIA. While this site is a good source for information on strategy, foreign policy, and intelligence during the Vietnam War, it is a technical report that uses the jargon of political science and foreign policy. It may be a bit difficult for high-school age students to understand or properly use this site.

Red Scare (1918–1921)
Leo Robert Klein.
An archive of nearly 300 images and approximately 500 text files relating to the post-WWI Red Scare, created by Robert Leo Klein, the Web Coordinator and Digital Resources Developer at the William and Anita Newman Library, Baruch College, CUNY. The weekly compendium, The Literary Digest, constitutes “the primary source of material for this database.” Klein notes, in describing his site, that “because the anti-red hysteria was so emblematic of the time” "we use it in the context of this database as a short-hand way of expressing the whole period." Whether or not this interpretation succeeds, this site is an impressive source for first-hand documents. Users will find them organized chronologically, as well as by more than 100 subject headings. No background text is offered, but students curious about the history of antiradicalism will discover here a rewarding presentation.

Origins of American Animation
American Memory, Library of Congress.
See JAH web review by Paula Petrik.
Reviewed 2012-06-01.
This site traces the development of early American animation through a collection of 21 animated films from the years 1900 to 1921. The films, including several media—clay, puppet, cut-out animation, and pen drawings—indicate the “connection between newspaper comic strips and early animated films.” In addition, these “tiny, often satiric, films tell much about the social fabric of World War I-era America.” Films can be viewed in RealMedia, MPEG, or Quick Time formats. Part of the American Memory Collection at the Library of Congress, drawn from collections in the Library of Congress Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division.
