LBJ goes to war (1964-1965) (60 min.) -- America takes charge (1965-1967) (60 min.) -- America's enemy (1954-1967) (60 min.)
Narrator: Will Lyman.
LBJ goes to war: Tells how, following the assassination of President Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson inherited a series of coups in Saigon and how northern guerillas controlled the countryside as the South Vietnamese army disintegrated. Also looks at the Tonkin Gulf Incident and how Johnson secretly approved open-ended deployment of American troops.
America takes charge: Describes how the Viet Minh responded to the 1.5 million American's dispatched to Vietnam by the Johnson administration. Also examines the American soldier's view of the war with a mostly unseen enemy.
America's enemy: Presents a view of the war in Vietnam as experienced by the followers of Ho Chi Minh and as described by American soldiers and P.O.W.'s. Looks at the effects of Hanoi's growing socialization of the North and the results of U.S. bombing and guerilla and conventional warfare.
