And that's the way it wasn't...
And that's the way it wasn't... This DVD set contains a compilation of news stories presented as history years after the fact by Walter Cronkite and his cronies at CBS News. Walter and the other reporters spent time in Nam, but they were not there day after day for all the "stuff" of this war. I respect Walter Croncriteas a reporter but his look on Vietnam and the war was not always reported as "THE WAY IE WAS". Much like Jane Fonda he did harm to the way the average GI was looked upon in the States. This series of 30-minute programs does provides an opportunity to see how the war was covered by CBS News. But Cronkite's introductions to the stories, produced about 15 years after their original broadcast, ignore history, making this series disingenuous and self serving. For instance, in its segment on the 1968 Tet Offensive, CBS's original reporting that Tet was a US military disaster, soon followed by Cronkite's inappropriately influential pronouncement that the war could not be won, is unchallenged. Yet North Vietnamese General Vo Ngyuen Giap's lengthy interview with Stanley Karnow in the June 24, 1990, edition of the New York Times (easily available online at the Times Web site) tells an entirely different story from what is shown here. Briefly summarizing, Giap said that the Viet Cong (a creation of Hanoi, he said) ceased to be a fighting force after Tet. The communists lost between 25,000 and 50,000 soldiers killed durnig Tet. They expected the South Vietnamese people to rise up and join them during the coordinated Tet attacks; the people didn't. But, upon seeing the US media's reporting of the Tet Offensive as a US defeat, Giap said, the North Vietnamese leaders realized that all they had to do was hold on to eventually prevail. And, Giap said, that is exactly what they did. This CBS presentation covers none of this. The "first draft of history" is presented here as the final word leaving us with nothing more than a self-congratulatory rehash of CBS's original biased reporting.Read full review

Excellent CBS news footage
I bought this because I was looking for the CBS news clips run on the evening news that I saw when I was kid. It is an excellent compilation with Walter Cronkite introducing and explaining the context for about 10% of the time and 90% the actual news reports as presented. I specifically did not want an edited and strung together series because i wanted to get the opinions of the time, not a retrospective. There is nothing deep and philosophical in this series and it doesn't attampt to write the history. It just presents news reports of the era. I think it is superb and gives more of an insight into the daily lives and struggles of the soldier than the overall conflict. I'd highly recommend it.
