The 'Reel' Vietnam

The US military has fought in over a hundred campaigns. One, the Second Indochina War, lasted from 1955 to 1975. Public support for the war peaked in the mid-1960s but collapsed after the Tet Offensive in early 1968. This course will examine how Hollywood's treatment of the war and its participants changed over time, reflecting America's gradual disillusionment with a conflict nearly 9,000 miles from its shores.
