Commemorating the 50th anniversary of Tet (January 31 - February 21, 2018) — the most significant battle of the Vietnam War — the Drexel University Department of History, the Drexel Army ROTC program and the Office of Veteran Student Services present a talk by Captain Alvan Markle IV, USA Ret., USAR Ret., on "Vietnam and Tet: Did the Media Get It Right?"

A Vietnam Veteran and amateur historian, Captain Markle has studied this war, especially Tet, and has found several Vietnamese Communist officers/authors who shed new light on important issues. He will also discuss key players, major decisions, lessons learned and the role of the Media.

Light refreshments will follow the lecture.
