Dr. Kattenburg, born in Belgium, was educated at the University of North Carolina (B.S., 1943), George Washington University (M.A., 1946) and Yale University (Ph.D. in International Relations, 1949). He served in the U.S. Army on detail to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in 1943-5.
After a year of post-doctoral field research in Indonesia, Dr. Kattenburg joined the Department of State in 1950 as a Research Specialist on Southeast Asia, later entering the U.S. Foreign Service and serving in Saigon, Washington , Manila, and Bonn/Frankfurt as a Political Officer. In 1962-3, he attended the State Department's Senior Seminar in Foreign Policy. Returning to East Asian Affairs, he worked successively on Vietnam, Asian Regional Affairs, on detail to the Policy Planning Council, and as Country Director for the Philippines. In 1966, he was appointed Counselor of Embassy and Charge of the U.S. Mission at Georgetown, Guyana, from which he returned in 1969 to become Deputy Coordinator of Political Studies at the Foreign Service Institute, Department of State.
Since January 1973 and his retirement from the U.S. Foreign Service, Dr. Kattenburg had taught Political Science and International Studies at the University of South Carolina, where he was named the Charles L. Jacobson Professor of Public Affairs in 1980 and Distinguished Professor Emeritus on June 30, 1986. His book, The Vietnam Trauma in American Foreign Policy 1945-75, (Transaction Books, Rutgers University, 1980) has had five paper reprintings, the last in 1992. He is the author as well of numerous book chapters, articles and studies in the fields of international affairs and diplomacy, on topics ranging from international terrorism, human rights, and diplomatic techniques to the current status of US-Indochina and US-Philippine relations, and to views on nuclear strategy and naval deployments in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, as well as on US policies of intervention in Central America and elsewhere.
Dr. Kattenburg is identified in the Pentagon Papers, David Halberstam’s “The Best and the Brightest,” and in several histories of the Vietnam War as an early dissenter within the U.S. Government on aspects of the U.S. Vietnam Policy. In early 1983, he was invited by the Vietnamese Government to revisit Indochina as part of a small group of ex-U.S. diplomats. Dr. Kattenburg served on the national faculty of the University of Pittsburgh’s “Semester at Sea” around the world voyages in the fall of 1984, spring 1988, fall 1991, and again in the spring of 1997. In the fall of 1986, he was Visiting Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and in spring 1987, Visiting Fellow in International Relations at Australian National University, Canberra. He has also been a resident scholar at the Hoover Institution, Arizona State University, Stanford University and the Bellagio Center of the Rockefeller Foundation.
Dr. Kattenburg is survived by his wife of 59 years, Mary Louise Clark Kattenburg of Columbia, South Carolina; four sons, Clark Kattenburg of Oakton, Virginia, Richard Kattenburg of Martinez, California, and John Kattenburg and Charles Kattenburg of Columbia, South Carolina; a daughter, Jeanne Carlton of Lexington, South Carolina; ten grandchildren and one great-grandson.
