Nam Phong Dialogues: Episode 7 – On the ‘Vietnam War’ (finally)

Yen Vu and Kevin Pham

Episode Description
To some, it’s the ‘Vietnam War,’ to others, it’s the ‘Resistance War against America to save the country,’ regardless, talking about it is inevitable. In this episode, we review the popular Ken Burns and Lynn Novick 2017 PBS documentary series ‘The Vietnam War’ and offer candid reflections around three main themes: perspectives, hubris, and the horrors of war.
