Summary: The best!
Comment: I bought this for a friend who needs to occasionally revisit his experiences in Viet Nam. He has shared it with many of his friends who went through the same trama. This is the one you want to watch if you want to see and hear the recollections of the fighting men from this War. Be warned that this will bring tear to your eyes.

Summary: Very Good Documentary from a U.S. Viewpoint
Comment: This is not an all inclusive documentary or very thorough. It's shown from a U.S. military viewpoint with interviews of surviving U.S. veterans. It's all on one disc and about 2 and 1/2 hours long.
It picks up the war in the early 1960's with JFK sending military advisors and ends with the fall of Saigon in 1975, with veterans giving thier recollections for the battles and the time periods they served.
The battle footage is excellent, hard hitting, and not for the faint of heart (lots of blood and gore).
There are interviews with some very famous veterans. Colonel Hal Moore (who Mel Gibson portrayed in the movie "We Were Soldiers"). Philip Caputo, who wrote an excellent early account of his experience in Vietnam, "A Rumor of War". Retired General Barry McCaffrey, a military analyst for Fox News, I believe, are the three I knew of.
I'm a 22 year Army veteran. I joined the Army in 1972 but didn't go to Vietnam. But,as a teenager in the mid 60's I watched the war unfold on the nightly news and wondered after I turned 18 would I go there. This war had some meaning in my early life, of course no way like those who actually served.
The recollection of some of the veterans gave me a lump in my throat and misty eyes. Very powerful emotional stuff.
But on the negative side. There are no interviews with any surviving NVA soldiers or Viet Cong, or any South Vietnamese.
It doesn't cover at all how Vietnam became divided in 1954 or the French involvement prior to that. The political wrangling and protests in the U.S. are covered just enough to get the jist.
This is still a very good documentary. Very powerful.

Summary: National Geographic Inside the Vietnam War
Comment: This movie was very good to watch. This movie let me really understand the vietnam war on how it was fought. The country in vietnam looked very nice views in movie. That was the craziest war I have ever watched. There was so much to view during the dvd I viewed. They go over lots of the events that happen during the war vs south and north vietnam. The action in this dvd was intence. Them people from north vietnam kept coming and coming and would not give up. So many people passed away during the war that was also very sad. Lots of sad moments in this movie and unbelievable scenes. I couldn't beleive the stuff that happened in this dvd I recommend everyone to watch it.
