Watergate
Watergate
- The Washington Post offers a 25-year retrospective from the newspaper that broke the
story. The site includes archival materials, interviews with the principals, and links to
other official and unofficial resources. No discussion of Watergate should omit the Post's
involvement and perspective.
Watergate and the
Constitution - The National Archives offers this presentation of key documents dealing
with the impeachment of Richard Nixon, along with other background information.
CNN Revisits Watergate
- This CNN special site was also created as a 25th anniversary review. Similar in approach
to the Post, but with some different content and resources.
The National On Watergate -
Here's a retrospective on Nixon's downfall, created by the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation. Interesting for its north-of-the-border perspective.
Malcolm
Farnsworth's Watergate Site - Mr. Farnsworth is an Australian cyber-writer who has
built a fairly complete collection of Watergate links and information. This site is
particularly useful for its detailed chronology of events related to the Watergate
scandal.

The American
Experience: Vietnam
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/vietnam/
"The
Vietnam War ended when the Communists took Saigon. The end of the war left
questions and issues that are still unanswered and unresolved. Vietnam ...
a noble cause? a shameful venture? This television series [and Internet
site] look back at a hard chapter in American history. Two and one-half
million Americans fought in Vietnam and 58,000 Americans died there. Why?
" This outstanding PBS site includes video clips from the TV series,
a time line, maps, commentary, and primary source material such as
presidential correspondence.
Battlefield Vietnam, also a PBS site, focuses on three military topics:
Guerrilla Tactics, Air War and The Siege at Khe Sanh. "Khe Sanh was
one of the most remote outposts in Vietnam, but by January 1968, even
President Lyndon Johnson had taken a personal interest in the base. With
Khe Sanh facing a full-scale siege by the North Vietnamese Army, the
question was being asked: Should the base be held, or should it be quietly
abandoned.
The Fall of Saigon
http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/specials/saigon/
"Shortly
after the North Vietnamese launched an aggressive military campaign in
1968, President Johnson recommended the halt of the bombing of North
Vietnam. Five years later, President Nixon signed the cease fire agreement
ending U.S. military involvement in Vietnam." This collection of
twenty articles from the New York Times archive is enriched with audio
clips, maps, a photo slide show, an interactive quiz and lesson plans for
teachers.
The Vietnam War
http://ds.dial.pipex.com/leuhusen/nam/intro.htm
"This
site does not try to document the entire history of the Vietnam War but is
intended as a picture essay, illustrating some of the incredible
conditions under which soldiers from both sides lived, fought, played and
ultimately died." Created by Swedish researcher Peter Leuhusen, this
site features the compelling war photography of Tim Page. The photos are
divided into Machines, Faces, Hippies, Under Fire and Life & Sorrow.
Thumbnails of the entire collection can be found under Site Map.
The Virtual Wall
http://thevirtualwall.org
"The
Vietnam Veterans Memorial was initially conceived with one overriding
purpose -- to bring long overdue honor and recognition to the men and
women who served and sacrificed their lives in Vietnam. Because so many
veterans met with ridicule and contempt upon returning home, it was hoped
that the Memorial would he a place where that injustice could at long last
be rectified." Now The Wall That Heals has come to the Web. Via the
Virtual Wall, you can view the Memorial panel by panel. And best of all,
you can zoom in to a specific veteran to add an audio, photo or written
remembrance. Wow!
