| Introduces the historical controversies over the Vietnam War. Scholars remain divided on key questions including: why did the US go to war; what American president was most responsible for how the conflict unfolded; could the US have “won” the war if it had adopted a different strategy; did public opinion and the anti-war movement play a role in ending the war; and why did some Americans support the war while others did not? Prominently features seminar discussions and group debates. NOTE: Not available for credit to students who have completed HIST 4452. |
