United States9 days ago - Great Overall
Many of the lectures are very good. Skip the cult and the prison gang ones, though. You won’t learn much about either.
Would enjoy more variety of subjects. History has a lot of great topics.

I was just grinding my teeth this entire lecture. It was extremely biased against USA. Is the Professor by any chance Native American for crying out loud? It was too one sided for me. He was unsuccessful in taking a balanced approach. Too much liberal sentiments studded this interesting subject. 🤷🏻♂️

It was very informative and points out how some historians and journalists have clearly overlooked what was happening in South Vietnam from 1968-73. After 1967, many on the left focus on what was happening in America while selectively highlighting a few highly negative events in South Vietnam.
