This National Geographic special comes highly recommended from fellow veterans.

According to a Vietnam Veteran: "I hope and pray that you will pass this notice on to all your friends to watch this documentary. It will help to explain the WAR to loved ones and friends. All agreed it was very well done since it is from the Capt/Private perspective - not the political level, except as politics led to battle actions. While the movie starts at the beginning with the "advisors" it really gets started with the battle of Ia Drang Valley. They interviewed then LTC Hall Moore [LTG] about the battle. Spectacular footage and maybe some of todays troops can learn some things. Good focus on TET which I happened to participate in and thence on to the final stages. One word of warning, if a loved can not stand looking at battle casualties in the raw, maybe they should not watch. The documentary is real war where real people are getting wounded and killed. "

According to National Geographic Channel: "Inside the Vietnam War takes you inside covert operations, gives you a seat at the military strategy table and lets you witness the emotional toll of war through the eyes of the soldiers and the pilots who undertook dozens of death-defying missions. Woven together with testimonials from more than 50 Vietnam veterans, archival audio and video footage, and never-before-seen photos, the special features the harrowing firsthand accounts of the brave men and women who lived through the war.
