Vietnam 19:49 - Jul 8 with 1482 views | EdwardF | is anybody watching (or has watched) the docu series on the Vienam war hosted on Netflix? Just sometimes a 'look back' programme is truly incredible for all kinds of reasons and this is surely amongst the very best! The VO script is totally on point and the footage and attention to detail is just amazing. If this type of programme is your thing and you haven't seen it yet, then I can 100% recommend it! | |

Vietnam on 21:12 - Jul 8 with 1408 views | Swansea_Blue | If military history, especially American, is your bag there’s a new book coming out about Marshall that’s meant to be very good. By David Roll I think. Supposedly it’s the first to really get to the bottom of his character from the analysis of many previously unknown/unreported letters. Maybe it’ll explain why he had a mullet when he played for us too. | |

Vietnam on 22:55 - Jul 8 with 1315 views | Darth_Koont | Agreed. A fantastic, if at times unbearable, watch. It was an utterly brutal war, especially because the civilians had nothing to gain whichever side won. | |

Vietnam on 22:20 - Jul 9 with 1112 views | Dubtractor | Saw it on the beeb a couple of years ago, incredible documentary. He also had a hand in The West, a history of the US west, which is on Netflix, which is a similarly shocking/eye opening/incredible documentary series. | |

Ken Burns on 22:24 - Jul 9 with 1116 views | ScottCandage | Almost every night for a decade, I've gone to sleep with one of his documentaries on in the background. It varies between Baseball, Jazz, and the Roosevelts (released last year). I love the Vietnam doc, and the Civil War remains the standard for American historical documentaries, but you can imagine that it sucks to be woken up by the Battle of Antietam or Dien Bien Phu. | | | |
