This course takes a global history approach to the American war in Vietnam. As such, the focus will be on Vietnam itself, the development of American involvement in Vietnam, and the global context. We will focus on the military, political, cultural and social history of the war, and trace the complexity of its origins, impact, and legacy for both sides in the conflict. We will also critically analyze the basis and value of comparisons between the Vietnam War and current conflicts.
