ASU Osher Lifelong Learning Institute - We Gotta Get Out of This Place: The Soundtrack of the Vietnam War

In this popular and entertaining session, Doug Bradley places popular music at the heart of the American experience in Vietnam. He explores how and why U.S. troops turned to music as a way of connecting to each other and the World back home and of coping with the complexities of the war they had been sent to fight. The vets’ testimonies tap into memories—individual and cultural—that capture a central if often overlooked component of the American war in Vietnam. Rolling Stone named We Gotta Get Out of This Place, the book upon which the session is based, the Best Music Book of 2015.
