Contemporary Films

1945-63 Development of Cold War Space Race & Arms Race Korean War, 1950-53 Advent of TV Decolonisation Assassination of JFK ‘Rolling back’ communism

Vietnam, 1963-73/5 LBJ accelerates US troop involvement begun by JFK, 1963- Arrival of satellite TV Media War – 2 phases - 1963-1968 - 1968 (Tet Offensive) - 1973

Media War, Phase 1 US media largely supportive of ‘our boys’ Our wars and Other People’s Wars Media as watchdogs or lapdogs/propagandists for war? Mounting casualties

The Turning Point? Tet NVA assault on Saigon Walter Cronckite (CBS) LBJ’s reaction and the 1968 Presidential Election A military victory but a defeat in the media The ‘5 o’clock follies’ Or just reflecting Washington’s political agenda?

Media War, Phase 2 Richard Nixon’s Presidency 5 more years of troop involvement….. ….with a hostile media????? The Green Berets and Wayne’s World Nixon Re-elected 1973

The ‘Vietnam Syndrome’ Largely a myth? A rationalisation for defeat Shoot the messenger! Used for increased post-war controls on media War re-fought through movies (‘do we get to win this time’?) War in the Television Age

Conclusions Watergate scandal and the ‘end of confidence’ in the presidency 1970s détente in Cold War Northern Ireland preoccupies UK Arrival of colour TV 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan
