Ken Burns and Lynn Novick: The Vietnam War Is the Key to Understanding America
I'm posting this, gentle reader, because it is commentary on the documentary series produced by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick.
It comes recommended as an epic undertaking which reveals so much about the war which has waited 50 years to be revealed.
I'd be grateful, if you get to watch the series, if you let me know what you think of it. As I write, it's being streamed on American PBS, but not in Oz.
These people spent ten years on the project, and for a change, interviewed Vietnamese, from both North and South.
