Ending the ‘American War’ in Vietnam: The Impact of the Antiwar Movement and Lessons for the Present
Thu September 19 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT
Professor Carolyn Eisenberg discusses her book, Fire and Rain: Nixon, Kissinger and the Wars in Southeast Asia. Drawing on documents declassified in recent years, Fire and Rain explores how management of the war and of U.S. diplomacy by Nixon and Kissinger shaped U.S. foreign policy in ways that still resonate. Professor Eisenberg also provides insights on the impact of the anti-war movement, including how it was viewed from the White House.
Carolyn “Rusti” Eisenberg, a founder of UFPJ member group Brooklyn for Peace and a former member of UFPJ’s Coordinating Committee, is uniquely suited to help us reflect on the Vietnam War, the impact of the anti-war movement, and the lessons we might draw for today.
