General Note

Now, for the first time, discover the complete story of the U.S. war in Vietnam. Through rare and never-before-seen U.S. and Vietnamese combat footage, vivid computer graphics and newly declassified secrets from both sides, you'll experience the major battles, firefights and key military campaigns in action-packed detail. From the decisive battle at Dien Bien Phu to the final U.S. helicopter lifting off from a besieged Siagon, Battlefield Vietnam delivers a comprehensive, unflinching look at America's most controversial war. September 14, 1966. Troop-laden U.S. helicopters hover over a landing zone in enemy-held territory. As they descend, the choppers are hit with heavy fire -- an ambush by the Viet Cong's elite Ninth Division. Thousands of reinenforcements from both sides rush to the site. By the following day, the search and destroy mission Operation Attleboro has become a raging, full-scale battle. Follow Viet Cong and American forces into the major confrontations of Attleboro and Cedar Falls. See one of the largest airmobile assaults ever staged and the first parachute drop of the war, during Operation Junction City. Crawl into the booby-trapped passages of an immense underground fortress with the U.S. Army's Tunnel Rats, armed only with a knife, a pistol and a flashlight. Drive through a hail of enemy machine-gun fire on the deadliest highway in South Vietnam. Witness battles of shocking violence, as the Viet Cong throw wave upon wave of troops against American forces determined to destroy them...once and for all.
