In his twenty years at the University of Southern Mississippi Dr. Wiest has taught a broad range of courses. At present his course offerings habitually include both halves of the World Civilization survey course, the Vietnam War, World War I, Military History, graduate seminars in War and Society, and the History 400 capstone course.
At present Dr. Wiest is working on a range of projects, including a broad history of the Western Front in World War I, slated for publication in early 2009 and an article on the U.S. advisory effort in the Vietnam War. Most important, though, Dr. Wiest has begun research on his next archival project which will follow the men of Charlie Company, 4th Battalion, 47th Infantry during their tour in the Vietnam War. The study will rely on oral histories and archival sources to tell the story of Charlie Company, which was raised specifically for the war, from its training through its year in combat. The study will then move on to investigate the lives of the men after they returned from Vietnam and reintegrated into American society.
