How did boot camp shape the home front? What happened when U.S. soldiers returned home from Vietnam? When veterans became violent, how did society copeÂfrom the family unit to the medical profession? This course provides an opportunity for a close reading of the Vietnam War and its lasting impact on American society and culture.

We will focus on indoctrination, vivid accounts of combat, and the emergence of post-traumatic stress disorder. The course will also cover aftermath, particularly the impact of veterans on home and political life in the United States.
