U.S. Culture and the War in Vietnam:  Part I 1950-1964

Part I of this course, Rick Byrd will examine the background and early stages of 1960s culture and the links to U.S. involvement in Vietnam. We will discuss in detail the role of the traditional belief in American “exceptionalism” as it, combined with emerging consumerism, found new fertile ground in the war.
