It seems that Vietnam: The Ten-Thousand Day War is OOP, is it? It sounds like the definitive documentary series on the war. Is it?
There doesn't seem to be any other comprehensive documentaries on DVD currently. Have there been any recent documentary series' broadcast on American TV that have yet to make it to DVD?
I know that there are many great books on the subject, but seeing as Vietnam was a modern war, there must be millions of miles of feet of film that I have never seen.
I have The Great War (1964, BBC TV series) on DVD, a 7-disc boxed set of some 18+ hours and I have The World At War and both are masterpieces of audio visual historical documenting. Having a Vietnam equivolant would be much appreciated.
I love Ken Burns' films. I have The Civil War and The West, both are extraordinary. His brother Ric made a series called, New York and I have been meaing to get that for a while, but it's pretty expensive, but I'll probably get it this year sometime. There was an extra episode made later, after 9-11, wasn't there? It's a pity that it isn't included in currently produced sets.
Can anyone be of any help?
Thanks for reading.
