Narrator: Will Lyman.
Peace is at hand: Looks at how Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger worked to end the war in Vietnam from 1968 to 1973, increasing Vietnamization and troop withdrawal. Traces the course of the Paris Peace Talks from their inception to the final cease-fire agreement.
Homefront USA: Focuses on the polarization of American opinion about U.S. involvement in Vietnam, exploring the reporting of events at home, and the expression of public policy.
End of the tunnel: Tells how, with the North Vietnamese spring offensive of 1975, the South Vietnamese Army collapsed and the American soldiers returned home to ignominy, rather than admiration.
