This is a file in the correspondence of Thomas Merton under the heading: "Heelas, Terence".
The following year after writing to Merton, Terence Heelas began writing for The Strategic Commentary. In this weekly periodical, he advocated that the United States could not win the Vietnam War; therefore, by simple military logic, should leave Vietnam. Heelas seems to have written Merton with some of his earlier ideas on strategic planning on November 27, 1964 (letter is not extant). Merton gives his opinion on such strategic arguments.
