Vietnam: A Television History (1983)

Vietnam: A Television History: Season 1 - 13 Episode s
1x1 - Roots of a War: 1945-53
October 4, 1983
The end of World War II opened the way for the return of French rule to Indochina. Despite the ties he had forged within the American intelligence community, and his professed respect for democratic ideals, Ho Chi Minh was unable to convince Washington to recognize the legitimacy of his independence movement against the French. French generals and their American advisors expected Ho's rag-tag Viet Minh guerrillas to be defeated easily. But after eight years of fighting and .5 billion in U.S. aid, the French lost a crucial battle at Dienbienphu -- and with it, their Asian empire.

1x5 - America Takes Charge: 1965-67
October 25, 1983
In two years, the Johnson administration's troop build-up dispatched 1.5 million Americans to Vietnam to fight a war they found baffling, tedious, exciting, deadly and unforgettable.

Despite technical neutrality, both of Vietnam's smaller neighbors were drawn into the war, suffered massive bombings, and, in the case of Cambodia, endured a post-war holocaust of nightmarish proportions.
1x10 - Peace is at Hand: 1968-73
November 29, 1983
While American and Vietnamese soldiers continued to clash in battle, diplomats in Paris argued about making peace. After more than four years, they reached an accord that proved to be a preface to further bloodshed.

Through troubled years of controversy and violence, U.S .casualties mounted, victory remained elusive, and American opinion moved from general approval to general dissatisfaction with the Vietnam War.
1x12 - The End of the Tunnel: 1973-75
