Live from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., authors Neil Sheehan and David Halberstam talked about their involvement in the Vietnam War as part of the signature series, American Writers II. The two authors discussed the military struggle fought in Vietnam from 1959 to 1975, involving the North Vietnamese and the National Liberation Front (NLF) in conflict with United States forces and the South Vietnamese army. During this time, several writers such as Mr. Halberstam and Mr. Sheehan traveled to Vietnam and chronicled the American involvement in South Vietnam and its impact on American society. Newsreel footage was shown from the Vietnam War and of then Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara speaking at a news conference. Audio tapes of conversations between President Lyndon B. Johnson and his advisors were also featured. close
