U.S. Failure In Vietnam

From the Paper:

"This paper will discuss why the United States failed in Vietnam. The roots of U.S. involvement in Vietnam will be briefly described, and an analysis of why U.S. policies failed in Vietnam will be presented.
There is one view that perhaps the media, with its vivid coverage of the atrocities, had a role in undermining U.S. foreign policy. When the Public Broadcasting System broadcast a 13-part documentary in 1985 that examined the role of the television media in covering the Vietnam War, there was a protest and the Accuracy in Media group tried to obtain airing of a documentary which re-butted the program. Accuracy in Media and such books as Tet: Turning Point in the Vietnam War by Don Oberdorfer, Big Story by Peter Braestrup, and Lyndon Johnson and Vietnam: the Unmaking of a President by Herbert Schandler made an argument in disagreement."
