Tweet questions for the Q&A to @CSISPMDH

One day after PBS airs the final episode of Ken Burns' and Lynn Novick’s Vietnam War documentary, CSIS will host a discussion with leading historians and veterans, including three who served on the production’s historical advisory panel. Representing a wide range of perspectives, the participants will assess this epic retelling of one of the most controversial episodes in American history. They will explore not only the production’s historical and artistic merits, but also its relevance to ongoing debates about America’s national identity and its role in the world.
