Process

Find five sources of information about your topic. You may include a person who fought in the Vietnam War as one of your sources. There are many encyclopedia references, library books, biographies, magazine articles, videos, websites, textbooks, and other materials available about the Vietnam War. You should have no difficulty locating enough sources of information to do this project. Use these sources to examine how the person or event you chose to research influenced the  United States' course of action in Vietnam and, if relevant, the eventual withdrawal of our troops from Southeast Asia.

 Prepare a PowerPoint presentation with your findings. Be sure to tell how different sources assisted you in your research. Finally, discuss your opinion on how well or poorly this person or event was handled and whether they/it had a positive or negative influence on United States ultimate goal for piece in the region.
