The Ten Thousand Day War

Without question the finest most thorough documentary about the entire Vietnam conflict. The years from 1945 until the fall of Saigon in 1975 are covered with scores of interviews, newsreel footage and photos. Each episode deals with a specific part of the conflict i.e. The Air campaign, The Guerilla war, the American homefront, The French involvement etc. Narrated superbly by Richard Basehart this is to the Vietnam conflict what Ken Burns The Civil War was to that conflict.
