Steve Wright Interview with Don Swaim

Steve Wright, Vietnam veteran and author, talks with Don Swaim about Wright's early life, his experiences in Vietnam, and the state of the United States, post-Vietnam. Wright grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and attended Ohio State University until he was drafted. Wright became an intelligence officer, which provided a view of the whole spectrum of the conflict. As opposition to the war grew, the U.S. military effort suffered. Wright claims that the Vietnam War taught that you cannot insert American power into the rest of the world without being aware of the reality of each individual situation. Wright feels that the conflict has yet to be fully dealt with and the literature produced about the conflict helps with the difficulty of absorbing what happened.
