Tony Shanks –
easily the best Vietnam documentary made. All the interviews with the North and South are astounding.

Shame on you if you disliked this documentary. If you disliked it, you clearly didn’t watch the entire documentary. It’s a 10-part series full of valuable information, answering questions we’ve had for decades. Thank you to Mr. Burns and Mr. Novick for this valuable documentary.

Vietnam is why many Americans do not trust their government to this day. Yes, that war did drive a stake through the American heart. Forever
