Knoxville in the Vietnam Era

Description: Take a look at Knoxville and East Tennessee during one of America’s most transformative eras. Set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War from 1961 to 1975, this book shares the often-overlooked stories of local men and women who served while also exploring the major changes happening back home. From a struggling downtown and public protests to economic growth and social change, it documents a city balancing its Appalachian traditions with a rapidly changing world and the beginnings of a new chapter for Knoxville.
