Podcast appearances and mentions of christian appy

Jacobin Radio pays tribute to the late Daniel Ellsberg, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year and passed away on June 16 at age 92 . A committed, consequential activist with a moral compass that never left him, Ellsberg was always generous with his time. Shortly after he publicly announced his terminal illness, he took part in a Progressive Democrats of America Town Hall on April 9th, 2023, joined by Jacobin Radio producer Alan Minsky and Vietnam War historian Christian Appy. Ellsberg gives his thoughts on the current geopolitical situation, the continuing dire threat to humanity posed by heightened militarism and nuclear confrontation, and the need to keep fighting for progressive foreign policy. Looking back on his life, Ellsberg said, “When I copied the Pentagon Papers in 1969, I had every reason to think I would be spending the rest of my life behind bars. It was a fate I would gladly have accepted if it meant hastening the end of the Vietnam War.” Ellsberg spent decades working to alert the world to the perils of nuclear war and wrongful interventions. “As I look back on the last 60 years of my life,” he wrote recently, “I think there is no greater cause to which I could have dedicated my efforts.”Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

Christian Appy, professor of history and leading expert on the Vietnam War’s impact on American politics, culture, and foreign policy. The author of three books about the war, most recently American Reckoning: The Vietnam War and Our National Identity.

On Reality Asserts Itself, Mr. Appy, author of "American Reckoning: The Vietnam War and Our National Identity", discusses how before direct American military involvement in Vietnam, the US financed almost 80 percent of the cost, so, in effect, France was serving almost as an American mercenary

Originally aired March 16, 2018. This week's episode of the Global Research News Hour we take an in depth look at the My Lai Massacre on the 50th anniversary of that incident, as well as the war in which it was situated. University of Massachusetts Professor of History and author Christian Appy examines the deterioration of America's War narrative in the wake of My Lai and other developments over the course of the war. Retired U.S. Army Col. Ann Wright joins us to share her thoughts about My Lai and the future of U.S. militarism. She spoke from Vietnam where a 50th anniversary commemoration has just taken place. Finally, outspoken Canadian foreign policy critic Yves Engler returns to the Global Research News Hour to share little known tales of how Canada collaborated with the U.S. in Vietnam.

Last week, March 16, marked a tragic milestone – the 50th anniversary of the My Lai Massacre, the mass murder of unarmed people in two small villages in Vietnam. It has been called one of the most shocking events of the entire war. My Lai was one of the two villages. The exact number of deaths has never been definitively established, with estimates ranging from 170 to over 500. Many of the people killed were women and children who were also mutilated and raped by American soldiers. The massacre escalated global outrage and opposition to the war and back home in the United States. In the end, only one of the 26 soldiers criminally charged for their part in the massacre was convicted. That one lone soldier spent three and a half years under house arrest. He never went to jail. This grim anniversary is cause for reflection not just on that incident, but the entirety of the war and its aftermath. This next interview is excerpted from The Global Research News Hour, a podcast and radio program by the Centre for Research on Globalization and CKUW Radio in Winnipeg. You'll hear show host Michael Welch talking to Christian Appy, a leading American historian and expert on the Vietnam War. Appy is professor of history at University of Massachusetts and the author of American Reckoning: The Vietnam War and Our National Identity (2015). This interview was excerpted from a longer program focusing on various aspects of the United States and the Vietnam War.

Lawrence O’Donnell, author of Playing with Fire: The 1968 Election and the Transformation of American Politics and host of MSNBC’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell; Fredrik Logevall, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Embers of War: The Fall of an Empire and the Making of America’s Vietnam; and Christian Appy, professor of history at UMass Amherst and author of American Reckoning: The Vietnam War and Our National Identity discuss the critical events of 1968 in Vietnam and in American politics with Ellen Fitzpatrick, professor of history at the University of New Hampshire.

In the first episode of With Good Reason’s new documentary series on the Vietnam War, historians Fred Turner and Wilbur J. Scott explore how the self-image of America was shattered in Vietnam, and we hear the first-hand accounts of veterans’ return to America after the trauma of conflict. Then, historian Christian Appy tells the story of the draft -- who it ensnared, who escaped, and the trauma it left on a generation of Americans.

Christian Appy's work on the history of the Vietnam War has had an enormous influence on the direction of my own research and writing on the war. In this conversation, Appy joins me to talk about the Ken Burns/Lynn Novick documentary, The Vietnam War, which aired on PBS in October. We analyze the Burns aesthetic and discuss how the film avoids confronting the war's most troubling questions.

We are back at the Bryant Corner Cafe with a tough task from Nancy Pearl. What has been the best book of 2015. Some of us chose books published this year- which is what Nancy was aiming for, in fiction and non-fiction. Others just mentioned their best read so far. In addition, we offer an excerpt from Steve's interview with Patrick Kennedy about his book "A Common Struggle." We will post the entire interview in a That Stack of Books extra soon.   Here is the list of The Best Book(s) We Have Read (So Far This Year) Nancy was aiming towards best books of the year so far in fiction. Non-FictionChristian Appy, American Reckoning: The Vietnam War and Our National Identity.  (Nancy’s Pick) Other books we liked this year. The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin ( Katy’s Pick)Nathaniel Philbrick, The Last Stand: Custer Sitting Bull and The Battle of the Little Big Horn (Tom Bird’s Pick)William Maxwell, FB Eye’s: How J. Edgar Hoover's Ghostreaders Framed African American Literature (Robin’s Pick)Denise Kieman, The Girl’s of Atomic City (Ros’s Pick)Claude Steele, Whistling Vivialdi ( Steve’s Pick)Randy Spelling, Unlimited You: Step Out of Your Past and Into Your Purpose (Jenny’s Pick)Bee Wilson, Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat ( Keith’s Pick)Patrick Kennedy, A Common Struggle ( Steve’s choice for getting on more lists soon.) Fiction Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer ( Nancy’s Pick) Other books we liked reading this year. Jonas Jonasson, The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window And Disappeared (Becky’ s Pick)Black Hills, Dan SimmonsLou Berney, The Long and Faraway Gone ( Katy’s Pick)Lucia Berlin, A Manual For Cleaning Women: Selected Stories Betsey’s Pick) 

Nancy Pearl, Steve Scher and Katy Sewall nibble at the Bryant Corner Cafe while talking about two books that offer different approaches to the same overarching theme- how empire builders move across the landscape into history. The first is an historical account of the American Vietnam War.  Christian Appy, “American Reckoning: The Vietnam War and Our National Identity” connects our current foreign policy actions to the attitudes that were revealed during our long war against Vietnam. "The Strangler Vine" is a classically styled mystery set in the British Raj. Though lighter and more of a swashbuckler, the actions of the British colonialists are on full display. We also touched on a couple of American crime writers, Ross Macdonald and Ross Thomas.  Both worth a look and worth a whole show. That is coming soon.We won't be at the Bryant Corner Cafe for a few weeks. We will be back with the live taping April 21st, 3:15. Love to see you there with books to share while we explore what books to add to our growing stack.

February 2015 marks the 50th anniversary of President Lyndon Johnson's decision to begin the massive escalation of the Vietnam War. Next to the Civil War, no episode in U.S. history evoked such political and social upheaval as the Vietnam War. Today, in the backwash of two recent wars with troubling parallels to America's failure in Vietnam, Christian Appy, author of the oral history of the Vietnam War, Patriots, joins us for an examination into the Vietnam War and how it redefined America's national identity, conscience, and foreign policy.
