Gerry Ksmp 201 Condon School 19:00 - 20:20 UAH The Vietnam War has had a strong impact on the individuals who fought in it, on the correspondents who covered it and on American society in general. In this course we will establish an historical context for the literature of the war, inluding how America became involved in Vietnam and why the war lasted as long as it did. We will then turn our attention to a number of representative texts written about the war by authors who were directly involved in it, either as veterans or as correspondents. Our discussions will include such topics as heroism in Vietnam, the impact of the war on individuals and groups, how vets have and have not come to terms with their war experience, the anti war movement, and the many ways the Vietnam era has affected American society today. Finally, we will try to determine if and how the books still affect us today.
