EXTENDED ENDNOTES

ALL notes correspond to the endnotes in Patriotic Betrayal, supply additional information or evidence, and should be read together.

Note 24: SNCC threat: See Fanon Che Wilkins, “The Making of Black Internationalists: SNCC and Africa before the launching of Black Power,” The Journal of African American History 92:4 (Fall 2007): 468-471. Wilkins dates the solidarity between SNCC and the African struggle to SNCC’s founding in 1960. The tension between SNCC and NSA seems to have developed in 1964-65, as SNCC became more militant.

Note 67 American Friends of Vietnam (ARVN): Joseph G. Morgan (The Vietnam Lobby) describes ARVN as “a partner of US government.” ARVN was formed in 1955 to support General Ngo Dinh Diem. In 1965, the group coordinated strategy with Chester Cooper, the White House/CIA official on the Vietnam Task Force, who summoned Charles Sweet to defend Johnson administration policy before the NSA congress.
