The Vietnam War

In March 1996, "A Public Symposium: The History, Literature and Music of the Vietnam War," was held in El Paso, Texas. Nationally renowned experts on the Vietnam War offered lectures, poetry readings and music related to this turbulent era in American history. Although more than twenty years have passed since America's involvement in Vietnam, the participants in this symposium put forth deeply passionate and moving analyses of the topics they addressed. The Vietnam War: Its History, Literature and Music is a compilation of the papers presented at the symposium. They cover a broad range of themes and ideas, but the overall thematic unity in all of these works is the trauma the war caused, both in Vietnam and the United States.
