The American War In Vietnam As Shown Through Manuscripts

Special Date: Monday, November 11, 2024

8:00PM Eastern

Free, Live Webinar

Six decades later, the American War in Vietnam remains a controversial and influential event. Stuart has been collecting the conflict for a quarter century now, building one of the most important archives in private hands. He owns letters by the great leaders of the war (Ho Chi Minh, Presidents Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon); the American serviceman and servicewoman (diaries, letters home, photo albums) and the pro-war and anti-war movements (posters, bumper stickers, leaflets). Stuart will select about ten manuscripts from his collection and show how they illuminate the war and what they can teach us today.
