Scope and Contents

Subseries 2, Articles and Miscellaneous Writings, 1965-1997, contains articles, essays, book reviews, forewords, introductions, columns, and personal poetry. Bundy produced numerous articles during his lifetime for various foreign and domestic publications and various editorials for Foreign Affairs. He tackled topics such as national security and government service, with the bulk of articles examining U.S. foreign policy toward Vietnam. During the early 1970s, Bundy wrote a guest columnist series for Newsweek. These articles focused largely on foreign policy and examined such issues as the Nixon doctrine, the Middle East, and Vietnam. The series also includes a large manuscript about Vietnam that Bundy wrote immediately after leaving the Department of State in1969. Bundy utilized his classified papers and files, which he could not cite at the time. With the Pentagon Papers and other documents coming to light, he never went back and made the necessary citations. Thus, the manuscript remains in an incomplete state, but still reveals a great deal of research concerning Vietnam foreign policy.
