History 198. Experimental Courses
The Vietnam Experience
This course will focus on one of the most important events of 20th-century U.S. history, the Vietnam War. We will investigate that experience, both during the war and after. We will look at the history of the conflict, the antiwar struggle on the home front, the situation of soldiers and veterans, the way artists depicted the experience, and how Vietnam remains alive in the American mind—from foreign policy analyses to personal feelings about the individual and his or her government. (Open to all students. No prerequisites)
