Vietnam Era
The Vietnam War was fought twice: in the jungles, rice paddies, and skies of Southeast Asia, and again at home, on campuses and in the streets, on the evening news, and on the radio. This hub covers both, from the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu and the Tet Offensive to the teach-ins, the draft lottery, Kent State, and the songs that carried the whole argument.
