The Vietnam War

The Vietnam War ended more than forty years ago, yet its memory still looms large in the national consciousness. Our unique series on the terrible struggle offers an illuminating overview of the protracted and deadly conflict that united Vietnam while severing the country in a way that no other conflict had since the American Civil War. In this series, we chart the war that troubled three American presidents and their advisors, starting with the Gulf of Tonkin and the Tet Offensive and ending with Hamburger Hill and the fall of Saigon. Listen to the harrowing story of one of the most brutal conflicts ever.
