The Vietnam War - Jungle War 1 - DVD

The Vietnam War was one of the greatest atrocities of the second half of the 20th century, the causes of which are still being researched by many today. How did it start? What reasons did the United States give for justifying the attack? Could the war have been avoided? In this fascinating five-DVD series, we see the war as it was; complete, ruthless in its true nature. The series returns to the period of French colonialism in Southeast Asia to help the viewer understand the circumstances that later led to the outbreak of the war, introduces the viewer to the horrors of jungle warfare, shows the daily lives of brave soldiers who fought a continuous life-and-death struggle, and the huge battles and explosions that brought the war to life. Heartbreaking images of bombed-out villages, orphaned children who experienced the brutality of war, and ultimately the viewer asks themselves, if such a high price had to be paid for freedom, was it worth it? Although long over, the Vietnam War remains a vivid memory for those who fought in it, as well as for the millions who experienced the decade-long conflict virtually in their homes. VIETNAM: War in the Jungle presents the war from the beginning with over six hours of original footage that brings the war closer to the viewer than ever before.
