This 2-disc collection from The History Channel chronicles the war from the arrival of U.S. advisors in 1959 to the evacuation of the American Embassy in 1975. Featuring archival footage, CBS News reports, and interviews with historians and veterans, it explores the military strategies, political decisions, and the daily experiences of American servicemen and women.

In defeating the British Empire and giving birth to a new nation, the American Revolution turned the world upside-down.
