Papers of Richard Critchfield, an author and foreign correspondent known for his coverage of Far Eastern events and reports on third world cultures and the impact on them of agricultural and technological change. Although the bulk of the papers consists of writings, the correspondence file contains important exchanges with his newspaper and book editors and personal correspondence with his family. There are also memoranda about events in Vietnam, exchanges with staff at the Alicia Patterson Fund which sponsored some of his research, and correspondence about political situations in the various countries which Critchfield studied. The collection contains substantial documentation on five books, The Long Charade: Political Subversion in the Vietnam War (1968), The Golden Bowl Be Broken: Peasant Life in Four Cultures (1973), Shahhat, An Egyptian (1978), Villages (1981), and Those Days: An American Album. Also in the collection are notes on interviews with Chester B. Bowles, John Kenneth Galbraith, Indira Gandhi, Ferdinand Marcos, Robert S. McNamara, Anwar Sadat, and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
