If you are somewhere around 70 years old, the first few discs will give you the answers you've always wondered about. The peace nicks and hippies were right they were lying through their teeth to us, especially Kennedy and Johnson admitted sending men to die just so they could be re-elected knowing they can't win anything in Vietnam...... Shows the truth that those men fight with the greatest level of bravery and courage possible in a human being and returned home to spit and and called foul names !

Because explains in detail how the United States refuses to help Vietnam to be independent from the French tyranny. Instead the US was in favor of the French keeping Vietnam as a colony. HonChi Minh had no choice but to go to China and then Russia to get help to expell the French . The Vietnam war was all political. They went to war with a country that never was a threat yo anyone. Yet they let the Russian conquer half of Europe at that time . And cowardly didn't do anything about it .

A complete look at the Vietnam War from beginning to finish. A very very educational set of DVD'S on the subject of the Vietnam War. I am very very happy I bought this item. I highly recommend buying it. Great value too. Not over charged. A+ documentary on the Vietnam War.

While there are a number of great documentaries on the subject of the Vietnam War, this particular one by Ken Burns and Lynn Novik in my opinion is the absolute best of them all. Incredibly well done in every possible way.

Thought I was the only person alive who wondered why the Burn's documentary was even made. I too saw the original Stanley Karnow series - Vietnam: A Television History, and luckily recorded it (on VHS of course; that was 'the thing' in 1983). Watched it again recently (my understanding is that PBS released an 'edited' version on DVD which was not up to the original broadcast series); I watched the original programs, and couldn't help but wonder. It seemed so much more thorough than Burn's series, and I really couldn't see any reason at all for Burn's series except putting something "epic" out there with his name on it (for mass consumption?). It didn't even take a significantly different approach from Karnow's series. I was fully expecting a different line (since the original series, if I remember rightly, came under some criticism for being anti-American) but it seemed just a poor man's version of the original. I guess, since the original unedited Karnow documentary isn't commercially available, and Burns' "cachet" will introduce the topic to a wider audience, then it must be "all good." A shame for purists though. JMHO.Read full review
