Vietnam and the Presidency [audio 60min]

Vietnam tested four American presidents. It took the lives of more than 58,000 Americans and more than one million Vietnamese. In March 2006, the John F. Kennedy Library hosted a landmark conference, Vietnam and the Presidency, which brought together some of the nation's foremost historians, journalists, veterans and policy makers to discuss the lessons and legacy of the Vietnam War. At a time when the United States debates what to do in Iraq, these lessons are more relevant than ever. ~Visit website to read and listen to entire conference.
