Thanks so much to @PopMatters for letting me share some thoughts on how Marvel battled hatred back in the early 1960s.
When Marvelâs Fantastic Four Battled Hate By 1963, Marvelâs Fantastic Four battled some of the publisherâs most fearsome villains. By yearâs end, they faced a threat with chilling parallels to todayâs political landscape. â @GregoryDaddis READ: https://t.co/NRh1fpAnjc

"This is less a book than a 600-page diatribe. Wawro reduces an incredibly complex political-military contest to the barest simplicity: Vietnam was a bad war run by bad American leaders." @GregoryDaddis reviews Geoffrey Wawro's "The Vietnam War." https://t.co/fd32WrqCip
