About The Event
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with historian and author Greg Daddis as he discusses his acclaimed book, Faith and Fear: The Vietnam War, American Masculinity, and the Age of Uncertainty. Blending military history with cultural insight, Daddis explores how the Vietnam War reshaped American ideals of courage, identity, and belief during one of the nation’s most turbulent eras. Drawing on years of research and his own experience as a former U.S. Army officer, Daddis offers a deeply human perspective on how faith was tested in times of fear and conflict.
