Re: Burns Vietnam

LBJ and the Kennedy Doves Kennedy’s more dovish advisers recommended the policies that Johnson pursued, and generally approved of them until the 1965 escalation, often beyond. They lost no time in making clear that JFK’s commitment to victory would not be abandoned. On December 10, Forrestal, Ball,...

Ken Burns Vietnam

Ken Burns’s ‘Vietnam War’ Is No Profile In Courage Though Ken Burns’s 10-part PBS documentary The Vietnam War doesn’t try very hard, he can’t be blamed for failing as a filmmaker even if he had.

Re: Dad's Memorial
