Synopsis
Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,5 (A), University of Potsdam (Anglistics/ American Studies), course: PS The 1960s: An Age Of Turmoil, 6 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: In the 1960s and 1970s one of the most controversial policies of the American government was its intervention in the Vietnam War.
