The Elusive Enemy
Here is the riveting story of an enemy U.S. soldiers rarely saw – the Vietcong. Dramatic footage filmed by the Vietcong displays their weapons and tactics: the punji stakes and the booby-traps, the landmines and the hit-and-run attacks. See how American forces responded with resourcefulness of their own, from high-tech devices designed to ferret out the unseen enemy, to G.I. “tunnel rats” who hunted the Vietcong in their own hideouts. 57 minutes
Courage Under Fire
Witness the valor and bravery of American soldiers in the heat of battle. Remarkable footage captures combat action from the first U.S. offensives to the incursions into Cambodia meant to speed the war’s end. See the courageous ground troops, the daring helicopter pilots, and the nurses who battled to save the lives of the wounded. It’s an unforgettable protrait of soldiers who faced death daily answering the call of their country and their comrades. 64 minutes
