Advanced American Studies

1. Vietnam Quiz #1 (based on the origins of the Vietnam War). If absent, please make up this quiz within 3 days.

2. After our quiz, we took a look at some of the tactics used on the ground in Vietnam after American Marines land at Da Nang in 1965. To analyze the impact of these tactics, we collectively read a few accounts from individuals such as Phil Caputo, John Kerry, Wallace Terry, Truong Nhu Tang and others.

Assignment: None
