1968 As A Turning Point -- American Politics & Vietnam
[ send me this paper ]
This 9 page research paper examines the year 1968 as a sociopolitical turning point in which America changed its opinion about Vietnam. The temporary nature of American successes in the big unit war, the limited success of bombing in the north and on the infiltration routes, and the failure of the pacification campaign were all revealed in the Tet Offensive. Politically, the U.S. government and military had also proven themselves to be both unreliable and untrustworthy with such illegal moves as Operation Chaos. It is essentially argued that 1968 marked a turning point not only in how Americans would view their own government, but in how the government would accept these views. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

George C. Herring's America's Longest War
[ send me this paper ]
US involvement in the Vietnam Conflict occurred for a number of reasons that were more complex than simply the desire of the United States to prevent the spread of communism. In his work America's Longest War, Herring reflects on a number of common war theories to explain US involvement and to define the essence of the action taken. Herring also demonstrates the underpinnings of the war itself and the nature of the perspectives, both national and international, that sustained the conflict and US involvement for so long. This 5 page paper considers the elements of Herring's discourse, while also providing a view of the war itself and defining the underpinnings that supported its longevity.

My Lai: Massacre, Tragedy, Incident
[ send me this paper ]
A 16 page paper which illustrates the massacre known as the My Lai Massacre which occurred in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. It was an occurrence which was initially called a massacre, then a tragedy and finally nothing more than a typical incident that occurred during a time of war. It was a useless invasion of a small hamlet in Vietnam where there were no enemies present. The soldiers, known primarily as Charlie Company, essentially went mad and performed what some have called Nazi acts. It was an incredibly horrible event and was, by far, the worst reality of the Vietnam War. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
