Overview and metadata sections
The Indochina Resource Center was founded in 1971 to inform the American people, legislators, and the media about the war in Indochina. The IRC also disseminated information about the countries of Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam where U.S. military personnel were fighting or bombing. The IRC changed its name to the Southeast Asia Resource Center in 1976. In 1982 the organization was absorbed by the Asia Research Center. The IRC published reports on the infamous "tiger cages" used to house prisoners of the South Vietnamese government. These reports were gathered by Don Luce who worked for International Voluntary Services in Vietnam.
Includes background material; press clippings, reference files, and research notes.
