This written assignment deals with lessons to be learned by American experience of Vietnam War.

This assignment deals with lessons learned in different areas: diplomatic negotiations, presidential leadership, and cultural/social contexts.

With your historian's hat on, briefly write single most important lesson you have learned for each of the three areas given above, with reference to what you have learned in textbook for whole course to date.
As there are numerous lessons to write in narrow space of this assignment's page limit, briefness is significant. Write with precision, and limit to well-developed paragraph for each lesson. There is nothing like limit of space to make you get to point. Size limit of this assignment stays, like the others in this course, two to three pages double-spaced.

For summary at conclusion, write down short paragraph about what you have learned in course as a practical historian, a "lesson learned" for yourself. What you have learned about yourself in role of being observer of Vietnam and 20th century events, and what do you value in studying events of the world's past?
