At a total cost of more than 3.1 million lives, the Vietnam conflict is, to date, America's longest and most controversial war. It also marked the first time TV journalists ventured out to the frontlines to bring the spectacle of combat into American living rooms. Across the nation, Americans watched, captivated by the surprise Tet Offensive and the slow-motion tragedy of the 77-day Battle of Khe Sanh, and witnessed the courage and skill of American soldiers at decisive engagements like Ia Drang Valley, Con Thien, and Dak To. Now THE HISTORY CHANNEL presents an expansive 2-disc set that profiles the decision-makers and chronicles each key event in the Vietnam war, from the advisors' arrival in 1959 to the airlift from the roof of the American Embassy in 1975. Archival footage and interviews with historians and veterans reveal the military and political strategies in play, and CBS News archives take viewers to the frontlines to witness the daily struggles of American servicemen and women. Review: if you want a good history of events this is a good set to ... - if you want a good history of events this is a good set to buy. if you are a Viet Nam vet you can appreciate this documentary. Review: Vietnam War Documentaries - unique archived footage of the Vietnam War. as a Veteran of that war i own several documentaries on that event in history. though there are many, this is a much needed version of that era.

Real expression of Combating US Soldier's Face and Mind in Vietnam War !
Real expression of Combating Soldier's Face and Mind in Vietnam War ! From the first scenes,Anxiopus,Horror-stricken,shrinked American Sodiers due to unidentified multiple,continuous Gun Shot from surronding jungles made scenes real!. From ventured frontline pictures of TV journalist gave different feelings from propogandism. After President Kennedy began sending US.Military Advisor Group, US began to dip into muddy-lake ! In 1964,After the TonKing Gulf Incident, President Johnson started massive North Vietnam bombing with B-52 and Escalation of US.involvment including Combating Infantries. Battle of Khe Sanh by US.Marine remind me The Fall of Dien Bien Phu following Surrender of Frace ! anyway vivid struggle of US.Marine, undermassive Artillery fire,repeated waves of Infantry Assault, inevitable emergecy Air Transport under enemy and drastic massive bombing of B-52 was really undesireable to remaiing families and all Americans. this series by the History Channel is excellent and rare footages which not routinely adhered to chronological orders but case by cases of IMPORTANT BATTLES !

GOOD SERIES!
GREAT REFERENCE ON THE VIETNAM WAR. VERY TROUBLING TIMES! AS A SOLDIER DURING THAT PERIOD, I HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF HAVING THE UNIT I WAS IN (6TH ARMORED CAVALRY REGIMENT- FT MEADE MD)- SENT TO THE PENTAGON FOR RIOT CONTROL DUTY IN OCTOBER 1967. THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF ANTI-WAR PROTESTORS ON THE GROUNDS OF THE PENTAGON, AND WE HAD TO RESCUE THE MP'S.

No Reenactment Necessary; Ace Documentary
Just because it is educational does not remove the merit of its fifth star. The truth of lies by close presidential advisors is made clear, not diminished. The story of Khe Sanh is clearly told. Any high school American History class can make good use of this documentary to discuss the Iraq war.

The Vietnam War ( History Channel)
I thought this was the same program I watched once on TV. The program had the same opening picture as on the cover of the DVD, so I assumed the contents were also the same. However, This was CBS reporter Roger Mudd introducing the DVD. There were different servicemen being interviewed than what I remember. I was hoping to have obtained the same program. That said, this dvd was pretty good and I would recommend it to anyone.

The History Channel view of the Vietnam War was excellent. I showed to my students in my American Government class (the first part of the war/dvd one. It was very easy to understand. Roger Mudd from CBS news did a great job of narration. Steve Wenzel

流石ヒストリーチャンネルの作品映像と感じました。映像は私の判断でお話すると1968年のTET攻勢が主で、その映像でもっとも迫力あったのは南ベトナム都市「フエ」の攻防戦映像でした。是非一度見て頂きたい貴重な作品です。

Not too bad, they could have put a lot more truth in this one but they didn't do a complete whitewash of the truth
