Music and the Vietnam War

Vietnam veteran Doug Bradley and UW Afro-American Studies Professor Craig Werner collaborated for almost a decade on a project to interview hundreds of Vietnam veterans, using music as a powerful gateway into their experiences in the war. In this hour, we talk about Bradley and Werner’s book We Gotta Get Out of This Place: The Soundtrack of the Vietnam War, selected by Rolling Stone Magazine as the number 1 book about music for 2015.
