The Max Cleland Collection: Vietnam Audio Clips

Max Cleland sent home more than eight hours of commentary from Vietnam in 1967 and 1968. Originally on tapes, the audio has been digitally remastered resulting in remarkable clarity, complete with helicopters and artillery in the background of many of his tapes. Below are a few clips. The complete CD set is held in the library's Special Collections.
