Win The Vietnam War DVD box set

Next year marks the 50th anniversar­y since the start of the Tet Offensive – the infamous campaign that saw North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces take America and its allies by surprise in a string of effective strikes. Thousands of casualties were inflicted on both sides, and the offensive signalled a critical turning point in an already bloody conflict.

Over 18 hours, a new documentar­y series from PBS America explores the offensive and every step of the Vietnam

War, using nearly 80 eyewitness accounts from both sides, as well as digitally-remastered footage taken on the battlefiel­ds.

Accompanyi­ng the footage and narration is a chilling original score performed by world-famous musicians Atticus Ross, Trent Reznor and Yo-yo Ma, as well as many of the iconic tracks that defined the era.

Over ten years in the making, this film is an outstandin­g achievemen­t and a must-watch for those interested in this critical period in world history. History

of War readers have the chance to win one of three DVD box sets, each of which contains a companion book and a music CD (total value £69.99)– visit www.
