Walking The Tightrope: The United States’ Policy In Vietnam, 1952-1954, Erin Flynn
Annual Celebration of Student Scholarship and Creativity
This thesis demonstrates how the Truman and Eisenhower administrations sought to avoid direct intervention in Indochina and halt the spread of communism at the same time.

Faculty Publications & Research
The Archduke Carl of Teschen, victor of Stockach and Aspern, and the Habsburg Monarchy’s most famous commander of the age, was an unrepentant opponent of unlimited war; the type of war which he believed had been released by the forces of the French Revolution. To counter these new so-called realities, he looked to “limit” the impact of war through a combination of the Early Modern re-invention of Roman military principles, appeals to service, and the tenets of Theresian Catholicism.

The museum must walk a careful line when interpreting such recent history.
