Panelists talked about the impact of the Vietnam War and the lessons learned in the conflict. They focused on the short and long-term impact of the war on military tactics and strategy, foreign policy, and media coverage of political and military issues in the years following the war. They also made comparisons between the war in Vietnam and current military operations in Iraq. The discussion was moderated by Brian Williams.

“Vietnam and the Presidency” was the first national conference sponsored by all the presidential libraries, from Hoover to Clinton, and the National Archives. Leading historians, key policymakers of the era, and journalists who covered the war examined the antecedents of the war, presidential decision-making, public opinion, lessons learned, and the influence of the Vietnam experience on subsequent U.S. foreign policy. close
