Review of Vietnam: A Television History

This is the most balanced and impartial documentary of the Vietnam war i have ever seen. I,m not a war buff, i think war is violence and given the choice as civilized humans i think we should resolve our disagreements peacefully,having said that i am an enthusiastic fan of documentary's about WW1 WW2 Korea and Vietnam.I recently obtained the DVD collectors edition,And from the very first episode i was impressed.The series not only talks about the American involvement but goes back before the French colonial days of Indochina to the very origins of the Vietnamese people,with Balanced perspectives from the Americans the French the Vietnamese and the Cambodians.In my opinion, it is also a Study on the Difference of what the American Government says to the Media publicly and what it does Privately. I see parallels of this Phenomena today with the Iraq War.This is a must see Documentary about Vietnam. I would even Recommend it for History Teachers and classes on American History....
