影片内容介绍
剧情简介
Features twelve episodes exploring the events of the Vietnam conflict from a military perspective. Twelve Classic One-Hour Episodes From The Acclaimed TV Series Devoted To Vietnam’s Key Battles. Judgement of the Vietnam war has been clouded by issues which occurred away from Vietnam: the campus protests, the controversial presidencies of Johnson and Nixon, the agonised arguments over MIAs and POWs and the tormented veterans of that war. For so many people, the Vietnam War brings to mind events in America, not in Vietnam. When thoughts turn to Vietnam, attention focuses on a young girl burned by the napalm, piles of bodies at My Lai and the summary execution of a Viet Cong insurgent on the streets of Saigon. Those events are important, but they do not shed a great deal of light on the military realities of the conflict. Battlefield Series Three: Vietnam was the first definitive documentary of the Vietnam War as a war. It will intentionally avoid the subsidiary issues which cloud judgement of the war, so that a clearer picture of what actually happened on the ground and in the air will emerge.
分集介绍
Dien Bien Phu - The Legacy
While most history lessons consider American involvement in the Vietnam conflict to have originated with the Marines landing at Da Nang in 1965, in actuality began almost a decade earlier. With a call for help from an unlikely source, the French Army, who themselves were entrenched in a quarrel against the Viet Cong. Brought to video by PBS, this documentary tells the legacy of the battle for Dien Bien Phu, starting with the guerilla assault against outnumbered and outgunned French soldiers in the spring of 1954. The aftermath of the conflict would divide the Southeast Asian nation and be the launching pad for the deployment of American forces.
The Undeclared War
What starts as a ripple becomes a wave, and with the United States involvement in Vietnam, it began as a contingent of U.S. “military advisors” after the attack at Dien Bien Phu. From there it turned into “non-official combat missions,” and finally, after an unprovoked torpedo attack by a North Vietnamese patrol boat against the unsuspecting U.S. destroyer Maddox, it became “The Undeclared War.” Brought to video by PBS, this second episode in the historical series highlights the escalation of events that lit the fuse on a decade of violence in Southeast Asia and the first major U.S. assault, “Operation Starlite.”
Search And Destroy
While the method of “search and destroy” is the ultimate goal for any armed conflict, it developed a new face in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. With the absence of an actual front line, the North circumvented skirmishes by entering neighboring Cambodia, only to reappear within striking distance of the South stronghold of Saigon. With such bold initiative, the American contingent retaliated with heavily armed helicopter gunships from the U.S. First Air Cavalry Division, thus introducing the world’s first helicopter- based military formation at the battle of the La Drang Valley. This third episode from the PBS series Battlefield Vietnam takes the viewer on a reconnaissance mission with the American Special Forces camp at Plei Mei and deep into the miraculous engineering feats of the tunnel networks of the Viet Cong.
Showdown In The Iron Triangle
What began as a simple ambush by the Viet Cong’s Ninth Division on a U.S. helicopter carrying troops turned into one of the largest skirmishes of the Vietnam War. This, the fourth episode in the PBS series Battlefield Vietnam, details the events of the search and destroy mission “Operation Attleboro” and the first airborne parachute drop of the war in “Operation Junction City.” Additional highlights include footage of the U.S. Army “tunnel rats” in the underground network used by the Viet Cong, and a bullet-dodging ride along the deadliest road in all of South Vietnam.
Countown To Tet
The pivotal point in the Vietnam War was the Tet offensive of 1967. When launched in January, this massive assault changed the course of the war, changed American public opinion, and caused the fall of Saigon nearly a decade later. From the PBS war-history series Battlefield Vietnam, this fifth episode details the ingenious strategy from North Vietnam’s leader Ho Chi Minh and his aggressive plan that would forever alter history.
The Tet Offensive
What may have been the boldest and most brilliant military assault in history would forever alter the course of both the Vietnam War and America’s involvement in it. Known simply as the Tet (Vietnam New Year) offensive, it was a simultaneous full-scale urban assault of 80,000 Viet Cong on the principal cities of the South, including the U.S. embassy in downtown Saigon. This sixth entry in the critically acclaimed series Battlefield Vietnam captures the graphic footage of the carnage of Tet and specifically highlights the largest and deadliest of all the skirmishes – the bloodbath in the city of Hue.
War On The DMZ
Unlike the two world wars and the many before, the conflict in Vietnam was void of a so-called front line. Battles were fought in pockets of resistance, with troops dropped in by helicopter. What did exist was the section of the country dividing the North from the South known as the DMZ (De-Militarized Zone). This was often an arena of heavy combat, and Battlefield Vietnam: War on the DMZ highlights such furious fighting as “Operation Hastings” and “Operation Prairie.” This is the seventh episode in the historical series from PBS titled Battlefield Vietnam.
Siege At Khe Sanh
If you look up the word in any thesaurus, the definition of “siege” is everything from a simple attack to a naval blockade. What these references books won’t tell you is that the true meaning of that ominous utterance is what happened at the United States Marine combat base at Khe Sanh on January 21, 1968. Beginning at sunrise, a massive North Vietnamese artillery barrage fell on the base, the support runways, and the main ammunition dump, sending soldiers scrambling for cover. After two days, when the smoke finally cleared, there were many casualties. Battlefield Vietnam: Siege at Khe Sanh, the eighth episode in the PBS series Battlefield Vietnam, covers this historic incident.
Air War Vietnam
While the Vietcong attacked the ground infantry of the American forces, the U.S. Air Force took to the skies and launched Air War Vietnam. Beginning on February 7, 1965, with Operation Flaming Dart, the assault on the North Vietnamese training base at Dong Hoi, and continuing with the covert “Rolling Thunder” of the U.S.A.F. Farmgate detachment, this documentary captures cockpit footage of the rockets red glare. Brought to video by PBS, this entry is the ninth episode in the ambitious collection of war-history footage from Battlefield Vietnam. In-depth coverage also includes insight into then President Johnson’s closed-door luncheons that served a top-secret menu of strategic bombing missions.
Rolling Thunder
This is the tenth episode from the PBS series Battlefield Vietnam that chronicles the American experience in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam conflict. Detailing the heavy bombardment of the North by both U.S. Air Force and Navy fighters and bombers, this episode puts the viewer in the co-pilot seat for the now infamous bombing runs of mass destruction. Included are details of the relentless assaults on the power sources within the city limits of Hanoi and Haiphong, to the clear-cutting annihilation of the “carpet” bombings that left nothing but burnt remnants and indelible memories in their wake. Extra footage includes a dogfight segment and an up-close look at a covert Soviet SAM (surface-to-air-missile) site.
Peace With Honor
After the Tet offensive of 1969, the American troops serving in country, and the students fighting against the war on campus throughout the States began to inflict heavy pressure on Richard Nixon and his administration to end the war. So when the South Vietnamese Army led by U.S. Forces swept into the neighboring country of Cambodia to attack Communist bases supporting the North, the resulting aftermath ignited a powder keg of dissention and radically altered American policy towards Vietnam. The ironically titled Battlefield Vietnam: Peace With Honor is the 11th episode in the PBS-produced history-war series concerning the pivotal events of the war in Vietnam.
The Fall Of Saigon
If you look up the word in any thesaurus, the definition of “siege” is everything from a simple attack to a naval blockade. What these references books won’t tell you is that the true meaning of that ominous utterance is what happened at the United States Marine combat base at Khe Sanh on January 21, 1968. Beginning at sunrise, a massive North Vietnamese artillery barrage fell on the base, the support runways, and the main ammunition dump, sending soldiers scrambling for cover. After two days, when the smoke finally cleared, thousands lay dead and wounded. Battlefield Vietnam: Siege at Khe Sanh, the eighth episode in the PBS series Battlefield Vietnam, covers this historic incident.
