Half A Memory: The Vietnam War In The American Mind, 1975 - 1985 Mark W. Jackley Submitted for the Degree of Master of Arts in History University of Richmond, 1989 Dr. Barry Westin, Thesis Director This study attempts to show how Americans in general remembered the Vietnam War from 1975 to 1985, the decade after it ended. A kind of social history, the study concentrates on the war as remembered in the popular realm, examining novels as well as nonfiction, poetry, plays, movies, articles in political journals, songs, memorials, public opinion polls and more. Most everything but academic history is discussed. The study notes how the war's political historY. was not much remembered; the warrior, not the war, became the focus of national memory. The study argues that personal memory predominated over political memory for a number of reasons, the most important being the relative unimportance of the nation of Vietnam to most Americans. -

POF 22 Interviewee: Stanley Karnow Interviewer: Michael Gannon Date
POF 22 Interviewee: Stanley Karnow Interviewer: Michael Gannon Date: G: Hello, I am Mike Gannon [Michael V. Gannon, retired Distinguished Service Professor of History, former director of Early contact Period Studies, CLAS] and this is Conversation. A landmark in the production of television documentaries has been the thirteen part series called "Vietnam: A Television History." It was shown on PBS last year and is being repeated on that network this year. It is thorough because it is based on sound scholarship. It is comprehensive because it uses film and tape from this country, from France, and from North Vietnam. The series includes interviews with many of the principals in that very difficult conflict. The script was written by Stanley Karnow, and while he wrote the script, he authored a book which has a similar title -- Vietnam: A History. Stanley Karnow, welcome to Conversation. K: Thank you. G: Welcome to the campus of the University of Florida. That was quite an achievement to have developed with one hand a thirteen part television series and with the other hand a very sound and impressive book. How long did it take you to do this? K: The television series was about six or seven years in the making; that is, we conceived of the idea back in 1977. It being public television, we had to raise money, which was very difficult. At the time that we were thinking about the series, it occurred to me that a companion book would be a good idea. Television is a medium of drama, of impressions, but it is not exactly a medium for explanation and for interpretation. -

Media History Monographs 15:1 (2012-2013) ISSN 1940-8862 When Objectivity Works: David Halberstam’s Vietnam Reporting Ronald Seyb Skidmore College Most Americans accept that Vietnam was America’s first “living room war” as readily as they accept that it was America’s first military defeat. Even many scholars have privileged television’s coverage of the war in their analyses of the press’s role in shaping public perceptions of the conflict. This article seeks to correct this imbalance by assessing David Halberstam’s Vietnam reporting. It argues that while Halberstam’s field reporting in Vietnam is rightly praised for giving readers an up close view of the conflict, it was the reporting that he did away from the field on the Buddhist Crisis that displayed most clearly the virtues of journalistic objectivity as a professional norm that allows reporters to, in the words of Donald McDonald, “discover and communicate the coherence of a complex, unfolding reality.” ©2012 Ronald Seyb Media History Monographs 15:1 Seyb When Objectivity Works: David Halberstam’s Vietnam Reporting Americans’ collective memory of the Viet- perception of the war in ways that would have nam War consists principally of a pastiche of long-term consequences for their profession: televised images: A Marine igniting with a Zippo In this brief but crucial period they would . lighter the thatch roof of a Vietnamese villager’s . establish the standards for a new gen- home, a Buddhist monk immolating himself in eration of war correspondents—and tele- downtown Saigon, a South Vietnamese General vision as well.

Framing 'The Other'. a Critical Review of Vietnam War Movies and Their Representation of Asians and Vietnamese.*
Framing ‘the Other’. A critical review of Vietnam war movies and their representation of Asians and Vietnamese.* John Kleinen W e W ere Soldiers (2002), depicting the first major clash between regular North-Vietnamese troops and U.S. troops at Ia Drang in Southern Vietnam over three days in November 1965, is the Vietnam War version of Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line. Director, writer and producer, Randall Wallace, shows the viewer both American family values and dying soldiers. The movie is based on the book W e were soldiers once ... and young by the U.S. commander in the battle, retired Lieutenant General Harold G. Moore (a John Wayne- like performance by Mel Gibson).1 In the film, the U.S. troops have little idea of what they face, are overrun and suffer heavy casualties. The American GIs are seen fighting for their comrades, not their fatherland. This narrow patriotism is accompanied by a new theme: the respect for the victims ‘on the other side’. For the first time in the Hollywood tradition, we see fading shots of dying ‘VC’ and of their widows reading loved ones’ diaries. This is not because the filmmaker was emphasizing ‘love’ or ‘peace’ instead of ‘war’, but more importantly, Wallace seems to say, that war is noble. Ironically, the popular Vietnamese actor, Don Duong, who plays the communist commander Nguyen Huu An who led the Vietnamese People’s Army to victory, has been criticized at home for tarnishing the image of Vietnamese soldiers. Don Duong has appeared in several foreign films and numerous Vietnamese-made movies about the War. -

War, Women, Vietnam: the Mobilization of Female Images, 1954-1978
War, Women, Vietnam: The Mobilization of Female Images, 1954-1978 Julie Annette Riggs Osborn A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: William J. Rorabaugh, Chair Susan Glenn Christoph Giebel Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History ©Copyright 2013 Julie Annette Riggs Osborn University of Washington Abstract War, Women, Vietnam: The Mobilization of Female Images, 1954-1978 Julie Annette Riggs Osborn Chair of the Supervisory Committee: William J. Rorabaugh, History This dissertation proceeds with two profoundly interwoven goals in mind: mapping the experience of women in the Vietnam War and evaluating the ways that ideas about women and gender influenced the course of American involvement in Vietnam. I argue that between 1954 and 1978, ideas about women and femininity did crucial work in impelling, sustaining, and later restraining the American mission in Vietnam. This project evaluates literal images such as photographs, film and television footage as well as images evoked by texts in the form of news reports, magazine articles, and fiction, focusing specifically on images that reveal deeply gendered ways of seeing and representing the conflict for Americans. Some of the images I consider include a French nurse known as the Angel of Dien Bien Phu, refugees fleeing for southern Vietnam in 1954, the first lady of the Republic of Vietnam Madame Nhu, and female members of the National Liberation Front. Juxtaposing images of American women, I also focus on the figure of the housewife protesting American atrocities in Vietnam and the use of napalm, and images wrought by American women intellectuals that shifted focus away from the military and toward the larger social and psychological impact of the war. -
