Comprehensive Account Of Bloody Conflict
The US’s role in endless wars in Afghanistan and the Middle East. Rising tensions between the US, Russia and China. Watching Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s monumental ten-part documentary on the Vietnam War in this context, the viewer cannot escape the idea that the lessons from that conflict have never been more relevant. But also that they’ve been completely ignored in the corridors of power of various capital cities.
This is without doubt the most comprehensive treatment of the conflict on English language television. The twin strengths of the documentary are the visceral footage of events throughout the period and the broad range of testimony from all sides of the conflict. A personal favourite was the footage of everyday life in North Vietnam and the astonishingly intense mass protests in South Vietnam against the Diem regime in the early 1960s.
