Studs Terkel pointed out that Americans know very little of their history. We cannot forget the Vietnam War. The policies of the Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon administrations lead to millions of Vietnamese being killed as well as 50,000 American soldiers being killed. This was a war which should never have been fought. I want to present a resource for those interested in this war.

American Television Biography of Ho Chi Minh
You can see how an American TV network presented the leader of the North Vietnamese: Ho Chi Minh. Lots of propaganda mixed in with facts. It shows how easily a crazy government policy seeps into the major news outlets.
