Matt Roush says...
Earlier Turning Point historical docuseries focused on the Cold War and the post-9/11 war on terror, and now the franchise relives the divisive Vietnam War experience — described by one observer as “a story of ignorance, hubris, arrogance” — over five episodes. With footage from CBS News archives and Vietnamese sources, and access to declassified government records and White House recordings, the series depicts the tumult on the home front, the carnage on the front lines, and the impact of the conflict on a nation that still hasn’t fully healed. This was also the first TV war, playing out in almost real time on home screens, and as a commentator recalls, “Seeing the graphic images were a turning point in the American conscience.”
