Overview

Vietnam is a dramatic guide to the suffering, sacrifice, and heroism of the Vietnam War. It sees the highs and lows of the world's first televised war through the eyes of those who fought in it, both the generals commanding the war and the ordinary soldiers on the ground and in the air. Features memorabilia from key US archives and personal collections that go to the heart of the war, such as soldiers' letters, ID cards, and political memos.
