This might be of interest Funnily enough, I've just finished his book on the Cuba missile crisis so it may very well be the one to get. Thanks… |

There is the documentary – Vietnam: The 10,000 Day War – 1980 – 13 one hour parts – I think it was also released in a book form. |

A Bright Shining Lie is also an interesting read – it was turned into a kinda disappointing movie. |

The 10,000 Day War is very good. |
