You Think You Know About Vietnam? Think Again
I never expected, ten years ago, that Vietnam would once again play an important role in the news. But it does, and that makes the interview that we did with Mark Moyar on our radio show intensely topical. Mark is one of those people who actually knows what he's talking about: a summa cum laude Harvard graduate, a PhD in history from Cambridge University, and currently a professor at the Marine Corps Universtity, Moyar has spent seven years working on the first half of his history of the Vietnam War: Triumph Forsaken, which covers the war from 1954 to 1965.
We interviewed Mark Moyar on our radio show, and to say that his account of Vietnam is revisionist would be putting it mildly. You thought David Halberstam was a hero? Forget about it!
The first half of the hour was spent interviewing Moyar; after that, we talked about the Six Traveling Imams and the news coverage thereof, and concluded by awarding our coveted This Week In Gatekeeping award.
A great hour; as always, you can download or just listen to the podcast here. Or you can subscribe to our podcasts on iTunes by going here.
