The Vietnam War's key battles and campaigns get individual treatment across a twelve-episode series, opening with the French collapse at Dien Bien Phu and running through to the American withdrawal. Episodes cover the shift from an undeclared conflict to full American involvement, ground operations like Search and Destroy, the fighting in the Iron Triangle, and the buildup along the DMZ. The siege at Khe Sanh gets its own hour, as does the air campaign, including the sustained bombing runs of Operation Rolling Thunder. Archival combat footage carries most episodes, tracing troop movements, weapons, and terrain specific to each engagement rather than giving a single overview of the war. The final episode follows the negotiations that produced the Paris peace agreement. Structured chronologically and by battle rather than by theme, the series works as a step-by-step account of how the war escalated, stalled, and ended, with each episode narrow enough to focus on the tactics and decisions of one specific fight.
