vietnam the ten thousand day war | Year: 1980 Classification: War Documentaries The Truth About Vietnam Produced at a time when the public's conception of the war was at an impass, Vietnam: The Ten Thousand Day War was not only a document of one of the darkest chapters in American History, but an indictment of war as a whole. This unflinching documentary will take places you never thought you'd see. The jungles, the cities, the back roads, the fields, even the mountains of what was once an idyllic paradise, all are the backdrop for a journey of horror. Combining news, military, and independent documentary footage, we are transported through the entire spectrum of the conflict. We see it all, from the end of French Occupation, through the arrival of military "advosors", Tet, and the fall of Saigon. You'll even examine the war at home. If you are still questioning why this tiny country in southeast asia was so crucial to our country's history, make this the first and last documentary you watch on the subject. You'll never be the same again. Put This Indispensable Masterpiece Back In Print!!! I have had the chance to watch many episodes of this brilliant and IMHO indispensable and exhaustive historical documentary on the Vietnam war. As this is definitely a war which did suffer from constant disinformation in its coverage at the time, this presentation systematically discloses all the events in their proper perspective. Nothing else I have seen so far in a video format even comes close to the excellency and thoroughness of this realization. Plus the solid pace does keep your attention appropriately riveted. I think this series clearly demonstrates Washington's systematic blundering and inefficiency in the Vietnam era, which can help us draw parallels with the present Irak quagmire. It is a flawlessly critical documentary, which makes it indispensable. But it is now impossible to find since it appears to be out-of-print. Please bring this great DVD set back in print! Obviously Misinformed The following review was written: Very unbalanced point of view, December 12, 2001 <BR> Reviewer: Larry T Stone from St. Petersburg, Fl United States <BR>This documentary is overwhelmingly pro-war, anti-Vietnamese. It essentially demonizes the Vietnamese who fought for their country and totally disregards the fact that the US attempting to force its will on them led to the deaths of 3 million Asians. He wrote "the Vietnamese who fought for their country"<BR>This idiot thinks that North and South Vietnam fought together<BR>for their country, the North and South fought against each other<BR>not together as one. North Vietnam was communist and South Vietnam was not, North Vietnam attacked South Vietnam to make it communist, South Vietnam fought against becoming communist. He wrote: "totally disregards the fact that the US attempting to force its will on them led to the deaths of 3 million Asians." Obviously mis-informed again, who is "them" that you write?<BR>North Vietnam or South or both? <BR>the U.S didn't force it's will on "them" We fought "with" South Vietnam to stop the North. North Vietnam created the situation and events that led to the deaths of Vietnamese by invading South Vietnam Our role there was very politcally movtivated, we wanted to stop the spread of communism. A bad political decision imho. Next time you write a review, get both sides of the story, not just your bleeding heart liberal opinion.
