This is the story of American’s longest war—the battles, the
protests, the movies, and the political controversies.  The Vietnam
War was an epic event, the climax of the Cold War and the high water
mark of American power.  Students will learn about the experience of
combatants on both sides, the reasoning behind American strategy,
and the history of Vietnam’s struggle for independence.  The course
will also discuss the war’s legacies, its place in popular culture,
the aptness of comparisons to Iraq, and the war’s economic and
political aftershocks.
