Collection Finding Aid
The collection primarily documents Kattenburg's career in the United States Foreign Service and as professor of government and international studies at the University of South Carolina, c. 1970-2000.  Among materials of interest are those regarding Kattenburg's role as an early dissenter against U.S. policy in Vietnam.

Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
