SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:Operation Starlite\nPresented by Dr. Rod Andrew Jr. \nOperation Starlite was the first major offensive conducted by U.S. Marines during the Vietnam War. Taking place from August 18 to August 24\, 1965\, this pivotal operation marked a significant escalation in American involvement in Vietnam and set the tone for the years of conflict that followed. This lecture will explore the strategic objectives\, the execution of the assault on Viet Cong forces near the Chu Lai base area\, and the operation’s lasting implications for U.S. military strategy in Southeast Asia. \nDr. Rod Andrew Jr. is a professor of history and Alumni Master Teacher at Clemson University and a retired Colonel in the United States Marine Corps Reserve. His written work includes The Life and Times of Andrew Pickens: Revolutionary War Hero\, American Founder; Wade Hampton: Confederate Warrior to Southern Redeemer; and U.S. Marines In Battle: An-Nasiriyah\, 23 March-2 April 2003. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:
