SOC 977 - Vietnam War: A Video History

3 Units
The Vietnam War created divisions in the American political body like no other conflict since the Civil War. Those divisions were both about the role of America in the world and the structure of American society. Thus the course permits us to look at important internal issues in U.S. history, its place on the world stage, Vietnamese history and the way in which localized conflicts became part of the larger Cold War between East and West. The 11-part series (one hour each) begins with the roots of the conflict and traces it through the American withdrawal in 1975 and beyond.
