Anyone watch the Ken Burns documentary?
I thought it was real well done. It has faced some criticism for not going deep enough but I don't think even 18 hours can allow you to go as deep as necessary.
Most frustrating part about it is the history is repeating itself today. Lot of the same generational tensions and ego issues.
I have it recorded and I'm looking forward to watching it soon. I know a bit about French Indochina and the early years of American involvement, and a bit about the Nixon-era endgame, but I admit that I really only know the bullet points for all the time in between, so I'm interested to see it.
