Vietnam: The Ten Thousand Day War, Episode 6 - Firepower (1980)

Synopsis of Vietnam: The Ten Thousand Day War, Episode 6 - Firepower

Based on Mike McClear's book of the same name, this program chronicles the history of American involvement in Vietnam. From the 1950s, when Eisenhower sent advisors to help the French in Vietnam, through the American withdrawal of troops from the region, to ultimate surrender by North Vietnam in 1975, the Vietnam issue occupies a unique place in American history. Archival film footage, photographs, personal accounts of soldiers and civilians, as well as commentary by scholars tell the story. This episode examines the vastly superior firepower of the United States, and how it proved ineffective in fighting in the guerilla warfare in the jungles of Vietnam. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, Rovi
