An outstanding document of a complex war
"Vietnam: The Ten Thousand Day War"  is a documentary series first aired in 1981.  Narrated by Richard Basehart,  the 26 episodes trace the collapse of the French colonial regime after World War II to the puppet democracies propped up by the United States, leading to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and the undeclared war of ideologies that devastated the American military-industrial complex and the White House itself.<br /><br />Writer and former CNN correspondent Peter Arnett's script mixes military, political, and intelligence testimony from key historical figures, straightforwardly with journalistic balance, using proprietary footage, much of it from North Vietnamese sources.<br /><br />Rather than lay blame at the feet of the French, or Kennedy, Johnson, or Nixon, the film illustrates how the war's progress and escalation were never clear-cut, but tragically led to thousands of deaths and laid waste to the country of Vietnam.
