Vietnam War

Description

On the 50-year anniversary of the 1968 protests, this lecture explores the origins of the anti-war movement, its impact on foreign policy and its place in American memory. Presented by University of Colorado – Denver Professor Dr. Greg Whitesides. Dr. Greg Whitesides’ primary interests are the history of science, U.S. foreign policy and 20th century global history.
