Marigold: The Lost Chance for Peace in Vietnam
James Hershberg, George Washington University & Woodrow Wilson Center
Saturday, December 1, 2012, 2:00PM - 3:30PM
Registration required; no fee
Dr. Hershberg, author of Marigold: The Lost Chance for Peace in Vietnam, explores one of the war's last lingering mysteries: the secret Polish-Italian peace initiative, codenamed "Marigold.” His analysis draws on the papers of Massachusetts Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, who served as the US ambassador in Saigon, as well as newly-available communist sources. Dr. Hershberg is Professor of History and International Affairs at George Washington University, and former director of the Woodrow Wilson Center's Cold War International History Project.
