The Vietnam War

At NSSC, Northfield Location:

Gary Midkiff, College Professor

Our President knew we could not win. Our commanding Generals knew we could not win. Our opponent knew we would not win. Our young citizens did not believe we should be in the war and wanted us to leave immediately. Our greatest advocate of human rights and equality became a champion for withdrawal. And yet we fought on. Why? What has America learned from this debacle? Historian Gary Midkiff provides a riveting examination of this war, the schisms it caused in our society, and how it reshaped our world view.
