note:  part one on last month's blog

What happens when historians go searching for new evidence about the nation's past? It can change the way its citizens think about their country as well as their identity. And it can upset both citizens and those who govern them. Historian Robert Johnson speaks to some American historians who are asking us to reconsider America's role in the Vietnam War.
