Andrew Wiest is the University Distinguished Professor of History and founding director of the Dale Center for the Study of War & Society at the University of Southern Mississippi. His deep connection to the subject began in his own classroom, where a student veteran’s silence about his Vietnam experience inspired a decades-long quest. Wiest embarked on an immersive journey with the men of Charlie Company, attending their reunions for years to build the trust necessary to finally tell their powerful and untold story.
