Summary:
On this date 40 years ago, Saigon fell to North Vietnam, effectively ending US involvement in the Vietnam War. Like many young men of his generation, Tim O'Brien was drafted. He spent two years as an infantry foot soldier in Vietnam. Drawing from those experiences, OBrien wrote a collection of stories he titled The Things They Carried. Twenty five years later, its regarded as a masterwork of war time impressions.
Then, journalist and historian Nick Turse spent 10 years researching Pentagon archives and interviewing Vietnam War veterans and survivors for his book titled Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam. [Broadcast Date: April 30, 2015]
