Marc LiVecche hosts our first Im-ProvCast, an offshoot of Providence's regular Foreign Policy ProvCast where our managing editor interviews distinguished guests. This episode was recorded before a conference about the anniversary of the Tet Offensive at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington, DC. Bing West speaks about his writing, the civil-military divide in America, the Tet Offensive, and the Burns-Novick The Vietnam War series on PBS. A longer version of this conversation will be published at ProvidenceMag.com as a subscriber-only podcast.
