Perspectives from the CIA: A Complete Arc of the Vietnam Conflict
Sept. 12 | 2-3:30 p.m.
A compelling look at America’s involvement in Vietnam through the eyes of two CIA operatives who witnessed the conflict from start to finish. Frank Scotton arrived in Vietnam in 1962, developing grassroots defense programs and working alongside the CIA on high-stakes intelligence missions throughout the war.

He helped evacuate South Vietnam’s president before becoming one of the last Americans airlifted from the embassy roof as the city fell.
