With the 50th Anniversary of the End of the Viet Nam War upon us, familiar tropes resurface. At the New Viet Nam Studies Initiative, we offer counter-narratives and hidden stories. Please join us in welcoming Craig McNamara, son of U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, one of the key architects of the Viet Nam War. Learn how a new generation resisted the war in their own ways. We also welcome Claudia Krich, who remained in Viet Nam after the war ended. Together, they will discuss their books, which chronicle this pivotal period in their lives and in world history.
