5.0 out of 5 starsSuperb honest and fair presentation of a turbulent episode in our history, fascinating, a must for all of us.
By R. Springer on April 29, 2015
Format: DVD
As one who served a tour with the Army in combat in Vietnam, I must commend PBS on this outstanding history of one of the saddest, but at he same time heroic episodes in our history. It portrays the actual events with fairness and honesty, of the pressures and issues involved, the tragedy of the Vietnam people, the loyalty and respect the Americans in Vietnam felt toward the Vietnamese people, the anguish of the American Ambassador Martin, who felt such a strong emotional tie to the Vietnamese people and the cause of their freedom that he prevented evacuation planning for fear of causing panic and chaos, and the frustration of the Americans attempting to evacuate the Vietnamese, but obstructed by all sorts of problems. This should be seen by all Americans, and especially by young Americans, many of whom have a distorted view of the role their county played in this war.

5.0 out of 5 starsLast Days in Vietnam
By Lawrence Leeds on May 3, 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Since I was stationed at Tan Son Nhut Air Base outside of Saigon during the Vietnam War I thought it be interesting to watch this video. Sometimes I was hesitating about PBS Productions with their Bias point of views but this Video was very informative and just stuck to the Facts of the collapse of South Vietnam in its Final Days. When Saigon fell in April 1975 my heart just sank in my throat as I watched it on TV. I thought about all the service men and women I served with in South Vietnam. The video was full of behind the scenes information from Ambassador Graham who was in complete denial that South Vietnam was about to collapse from the invasion of 160,000 North Vietnamese Troops. Many individuals disobeyed orders and took matters into their own hands and helped evacuate untold thousands of Vietnamese who would of been persecuted and the flight to freedom by plane, boat, and the last option was by helicopter. One thing that was overlooked and never mentioned was the C5 that crashed after taking off killing on all board that was mainly orphan children. Why they left that part out is unknown because that was part of the Flight from Saigon.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe real story of the fall of Saigon.
By John Severinsen on May 5, 2015
Format: DVD
Outstanding--a must see for everyone--veterans, historians, students, protestors, etc. The people who are interviewed in this well edited show are people who were there--not a bunch of scholars and college professors pushing their own agenda as in most documentaries. And those Marines, embassy staff, CIA employees, etc. at the embassy on 4/30/75 are real heroes--overcoming the stupidity of the ambassador and the politicians in DC that week while saving many lives. Incredible amateur and media footage shot in and around Saigon during the fall of the city make this more exciting to watch than any Hollywood blockbuster.

5.0 out of 5 starsI still feel a deep pity in my stomach for how we handled to end of days in Vietnam
By MFXB on June 10, 2015
Format: DVD
I am 42, so I don't remember the War, but I have studied it at length, as a professional historian. This documentary is well made and you cannot stop watching, even when you know what the outcome will be. I have been to Saigon in the last year. It is an awful place. Crime and corruption are out of control. The people are rude and anti-American in attitude. But yet, I still feel a deep pity in my stomach for how we handled to end of days there. I could not help feeling for these people and was near tears a few times. The Americans involved are all heroes. President Ford is a spineless worm for not taking more direct action without the consent of the Congress - he was C-in-C for God sake. I am ashamed as an American that we could leave in an even more dishonorable way than the French!
Everyone should watch this DVD.

5.0 out of 5 starsWell Done Worth Watching
By Karl Weaver on January 15, 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Last Days in Vietnam PBS 2104 Not Rated Blu-Ray version

After some truly execrable work on Vietnam [see prior reviews] this competently done history of the final months of American troop involvement in Vietnam seems like a masterpiece of world cinema. It’s fairly standard documentary: a mixture of actual contemporary footage, interviews with Americans and South Vietnamese who lived through the experience, and with military officials and historians who provide some broader perspective on the action.
I don’t think the documentary as a whole had a political axe to grind. One can see why various actors took the (conflicting) positions they did. Even the Communists [none are interviewed] seem to have acted somewhat reasonably [and in their own self interest] in allowing the Americans and their South Vietnamese allies—at least, as many as could be accommodated in a short period of time anyhow—a fairly safe retreat compared to what it might have been. For a war that that I think many Americans feel was one of our worst hours, I ended up feeling proud of the way most Americans performed in a chaotic and desperate situation. Would we perform as well in a similar situation today? I have some doubts. B+

5.0 out of 5 starsBetrayal and courage
By S. Clarke on July 12, 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
It very helpfully explains the cowardice of Congress, and the betrayal of allies and of a people who trusted and supported the U.S. to deliver them from Hanoi. It documents our broken promises. The Viets, the Hmong, and the Cambodians were left to die, and a great many did. "Peace with honor" delivered neither peace nor honor. Many Americans who were in-country showed great courage and upheld our national honor. But the American populace, by and large, did not. When I see the "These colors don't run" T-shirts, etc., I gag. BTW, I am a Vietnam vet.
