Event Details

Dr. Martin Clemis discusses how Le Duan, the North Vietnamese Communist Party leader, along with his trusted deputy Le Duc Tho, were the architects of the regime’s full-scale military force to stimulate a mass political uprising in South Vietnam, which led to the eventual U.S. defeat and withdrawal from the war several years later.
