The music of the Vietnam War era left deep imprints on the more than 8 million American troops who were actively engaged in the decade-long war. A book being written by two Madison men examines that impact. Its working title is “We Gotta Get Outa This Place: Music and the Experience of the Vietnam War.”
Craig Werner is a music historian and teaches Afro-American studies at UW-Madison. Doug Bradley is university relations director of communications for the UW System and an Army draftee who served in Long Binh, Vietnam, in 1970-71 as an information specialist….The men answered questions from The Capital Times about their book.
