The Vietnam War: What Is It Good For?
Professor Don Beahm, ACE 6 and CAS CDR Social Sciences
Summer pre-session on zoom 11am-1pm daily, May 30-June 16
This course is an examination of the U.S. involvement politically, militarily, and historically in the Vietnam War. We will explore various conceptions of how the U.S. became engaged in the war, how politics played a major role in what foreign policy objectives were being pursued through the war, why the military fought the war with the strategies they developed, and what the historic and political ramifications were for the U.S., Vietnam, and the world in the aftermath of the war. Attention will be paid to how the lives of Americans were affected by the war.
