• An essay on the normalization of U.S.-Vietnamese relations by QI Non-Resident Fellow Paul Pillar, who helped oversee the final U.S. troop withdrawal from Vietnam. 

• An event about War Journalism From Vietnam to Gaza that discusses how war coverage impacts U.S. foreign policy, then and now. 

• The launch of a new YouTube show, Always at War, featuring an interview with me (I am blushing a little) in which I discuss the politics of why the Vietnam War, and all the other American-involved wars since, have proved so hard to end.  

• Reflections by a dozen prominent thinkers on whether American intervention and failure in Vietnam was "a feature or a bug" of post-WWII U.S. foreign policy. 

• A conversation with Oliver Stone on the USS Midway on Veterans Day 2024 with QI board member and Vietnam War historian Greg Daddis.

As we look back on America’s intervention in Vietnam, we are also looking forward — with determination — to preventing the next unnecessary war. As part of that effort we are launching a new initiative to incorporate the wisdom of U.S. veterans into U.S. foreign policymaking.

The Quincy Institute stands nearly alone in Washington these days in calling for a foreign policy that prioritizes diplomacy over domination, peace over provocation. If you believe, as we do, that the United States must break the cycle of endless war, we ask you to consider making a donation to support our work.

Your contribution will help to ensure that we can continue to challenge entrenched interests, speak uncomfortable truths, and promote responsible statecraft at the highest levels of policy making. Together, we can help shift the trajectory of American power toward something healthier, and more just and sustainable.

This anniversary is more than a commemoration. It is a call to action. We hope you’ll stand with us.

Respectfully,
