The Vietnam War, as told by its veterans: ‘When are we going to learn our lesson once and for all?’
An Apple TV+ documentary turns the devastating numbers of the most controversial war in the history of the United States into human testimonies, 50 years after the fall of Saigon
When mass tragedies occur, journalists and historians often struggle to put faces to the victims. More than 2.7 million Americans served during the Vietnam War, and over 58,000 were killed during the conflict. It is estimated that up to three million Vietnamese died in the war, which took place between the mid-1950s and the mid-1970s. The documentary series Vietnam: The War That Changed America, now available on Apple TV+, puts names and surnames to these devastating numbers.
