Great history of Vietnam. Episodes show all the details many of which were missed during this period. Before, during and final chapters of our involvement.

I use this series in my classroom. I use clips, but I could show the whole series with no worries. It does not replace primary document inquiry nor use of the texts, but as a visual history it is incomparable. I recommend this series for anyone that wants to know more with a fair and balanced report.

First shown in 1983, "Vietnam: A Television History" by WGBH Boston is one of the best and most important documentary series ever on television. Unfortunately, when it was later made part of the American Experience series and into DVD, the editors decided to remove certain sequences and even cut one entire episode (the last, titled "Legacies"). The original first two episodes have been cut in half and form one episode in the DVD version. I am certainly not the only person who believes the original TV broadcast and then release on VHS is better than the this abridged DVD version. PBS should offer the original, unabridged version of this documentary on DVD.

i have watched more than 40 hours of programs about the war, this by far was the best, thoroughly referenced, most of the surviving American officials appear in it, frequent interviews with Vietnamese guests, many unique footage, well balanced surveying of all points of view, smart focus on the political and social aspects of the conflict...

simply a superb quality documentary production..
