  • Transcript of the Spoken Word, Rather Than Written Prose
    THE RULE OF LAW ORAL HISTORY PROJECT The Reminiscences of Joseph P. Hoar Columbia Center for Oral History Columbia University 2013 PREFACE The following oral history is the result of a recorded interview with Joseph P. Hoar conducted by George Gavrilis on March 13, 2012. This interview is part of the Rule of Law Oral History Project. The reader is asked to bear in mind that s/he is reading a verbatim transcript of the spoken word, rather than written prose. VJD Session One Interviewee: Joseph P. Hoar Location: Washington, D.C. Interviewer: George Gavrilis Date: March 13, 2012 Q: This is George Gavrilis. It’s March 13, 2012. I’m here in Washington, D.C. with General Joseph P. Hoar for the Columbia University Oral History Project on the Rule of Law. Thank you for doing it this morning. Thank you for making yourself available for the whole day. We’re hoping to do two sessions and talk about a number of things. In a preliminary conversation we had over the phone—and before I hit the record button—we were talking about a number of things, including your—I suppose a good way of putting it is many hats—the many hats you wore in your career. You’ve been in the military. You’ve been stationed a lot of places around the world. You’ve worked in the private sector. You’ve worked with think tanks, and you’ve also been very outspoken in your views on a number of issues that the Rule of Law Project intersects with.

GOODWIN has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester Pach Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 Abstract GOODWIN, GERALD F., Ph.D., August 2014, History Race in the Crucible of War: African American Soldiers and Race Relations in the “Nam” Director of Dissertation: Chester Pach For African Americans soldiers serving in the armed forces during the Vietnam War the domestic scene loomed large. African Americans perceived racial issues—race relations, prejudice, and discrimination—in Vietnam through a lens heavily influenced by their earlier experiences in the United States. Issues related to race and race relations helped to define the African American experience in the United States, and these same issues defined the experiences of black soldiers in Vietnam. Race relations in combat were typified by cooperation, shared sacrifice, and a sense of brotherhood. These positive relations were largely a reflection of the fact that black and white soldiers in combat were heavily dependent on one another. Despite these positive interactions with whites, African Americans did not view the armed forces as an institution free of racial prejudice.
