Cold War Season 1 Episode 11 Vietnam

Since the end of the French colonial rule, Vietnam has been divided. The north is run by Communists, the south by anti-Communists. Ignoring warnings against involvement in a nationalist struggle, the United States commits its armed forces: more than half a million men by 1968. As the body bags come home, American protests against the war mount. The U.S. embassy in Saigon is briefly captured during the Tet offensive. The United States realizes this is not a war it can win.
