u.s. vietnams duped into this war or people who did terrible things whereas, in fact, the vast, vast, vast mantle of american troops served very honorably and bravely just as -- as a previous generation had in world war ii and honor their service in the way we honor the world war ii or any other conflict and not -- not imagine that there's something wrong or o shameful about about their military service in vietnam, in fact, it was -- it was brave honorable and courageous and they deserve to be honored for it. i think i would like to in part to 18 to 21-year-old that it's important to empathize with local population. that they're, in fact, the ones that are living daily with war. that in vietnam, the young 18 to 20-year-old would spend a year in vietnam in the society enguferl fled war but would come home those vietnamese never had that option for many did not have that option and so they're making daily choices about survival and how to deal request a political struggle in their very homes, and to have empathy for that. that there's -- just because you're a communist sympathizer doesn't me

what happens, after gearing up in vietnam, this is my slide for this, u.s. supports the assassination of dm, ruler of vietnam and his brother and this is november 1963. kennedy himself is assassinated as we know in november 1963, and this is the end of "camelot." his vice president lyndon johnson is sworn in. and he vows to continue the kennedy agenda by domestically with his great society of social reforms. the war takes over and gets in his way. another sort of rather lighthearted comedy is on broadway. here's love based on the kris movie "miracle on 34th street" about a little girl who doubts the existence of santa claus so in some ways it's unfair, i'm juxtaposing these serious political events with these white, fluffy broadway musicals. one of the questions is how does broadway deal with the war, why should it deal with the war, what is the role of entertainment anyway? but we see the war sort of coming more and more to the attention of broadway producer. johnson is in charge and he starts to gear up and prosecute the war more diligently. march 1965, he

u.s. troops in vietnam remember the maine in the spanish-american war so this is going on over and over again and of course in two thousand to two thousand and three we heard over and over and over again from u.s. and british officials that iraq without a. particle of doubt had weapons of mass destruction including the alleged well nuclear weapons and they knew they were lying then but they did it to scare people to get them to support the war because if they lose the battle of public opinion they know. they can lose the war itself and richard we just had this is a quote from russia's envoy to lebanon who said that russia will respond if the u.s. strikes syria so if you take him at his word it seems like the serious danger of escalation if the u.s. launch a military strike would the u.s. debt to do this alone or what they need to form a coalition with the likes of france before they would launch any kind of military strike. well they may decide to form an alliance but the top person in foreign policy as of yesterday in the united states is john bolton who is the most extreme form of warmonger

u.s. would bomb north vietnam. that started the whole idea that the u.s. uld be using air power to go directly against north vietnam. it started with the tonkin gulf resolution passed right here in congress. and at that time, it said that the president of the united states can take any action anywhere in defense of america's interests against the communists. and that was a big statement. but most of the reporters did not, i'm sorry to say, pick that up. i think the people at cbs knew it and the people at "the washington post" not. but that was it -- knew it. but that was it. that the begin saying tet offensive prove that the american government was lying to the american people. why? guest: at that time, it was already 25,000 american deaths to the war. it overeen experiencing a period of three years, how it was to fight that war. a to realize that you could take a mountaintop and lose 100 marines doing so, and that night, willingly, pullout from that mountaintop. the question was why did you take it in the first place? and questions about strategy came up a

u.s. however it happened, from vietnam. host: let me ask you about another key player, william f buckley. emerged as buckley the leading voice on the conservative side. he was a young man in 1950 when he wrote a book after having graduated from yale. he took his alma mater to task for its liberal inclinations. became veryater, he young, 30 years old, of the brand-new magazine the national as the which emerged leading voice of conservatism in america. . knew him a bit i ended up corresponding with him when i was in college. i was in a research project with one of my professors at the university of washington, that he organized. various members of the 1947 commission on media that was underwritten by henry luce. i met with him and a woman -- host: henry luce was? guest: the founder of time magazine and life magazine. i met a woman who worked on the commission who was a close friend of buckley's. i corresponded with her and naive ofwas waxing what was going on in american politics. promptly wrote to me. over the years i had lu

things were falling apart in vietnam for the u.s. policy there. it became clear that johnson politically, it would be hard to within hisrticularly own party because of the opposition within democrats. the offensive was surprised for the north vietnamese in january 1968. the viet cong took over. he was taken over by the north vietnamese. it was actually a failed military offensive. at home it had a huge effect on the psyche of people, convinced a lot of people that the war was lost and it needed to be qui eted down. a uniquewas in situation. he was a classic liberal and had strong support among liberal groups, particularly the union. when he became vice president for johnson, in some ways humphrey was a bigger supporter of the war than johnson. he became the public face of selling the war to the american people. this created problems with him without his own party. liberals saw him as turning his back on the party and his liberal beliefs. some groups he was popular, especially among labor, but for a lot of democrats, he was seen almost as negativel

. >> guest: i propaganda campaign by north vietnam against the u.s.? >> host: take it whatever way you want to take it. .. i think the reason why you're the antiwar movement and the reason why the american public turned against the war was they perceived the world is not being successful. the tet offensive drove that all because the 1967 johnson and west moreland and others kept promising there's light at the end of the tunnel. in yet the tet offensive with tens of thousands of attackers and make clear the enemy forces were stronger than our leaders have told us. this opened up a credibility gap in our leaders and the people. that's what said the antiwar movement. it wasn't the propaganda from the north. >> host: max boot, "the road not taken." most recent book by this author, member of the council on foreign relations and military historian. thank you for taking calls from her audience. >> guest: led to appear. >> you are watching booktv on c-span2, here's our primetime lineup. >> taking care of a patient. the patient was a chronic patient. multiple p

u.s. out of vietnam, but there is a sense that democrats created this problem and it undermined them politically for a long time. host: i want to share with you a a few by pat buchanan who joined as a couple weeks ago. among the things he talks about, the surging antiwar unit, which your father may the democrats , angry. johnson was seen as an american lackey. he said the american establishment the best and the , brightest had been broken at the wheel of vietnam. your thoughts. guest: i think vietnam did destroy a lot of the establishment because they knew that they were not winning it, and they were still sending people over to vietnam to die in a war that they knew was not going well, and they were dishonest with the american people. it was a disaster. as i would say, and historians would say, you were not going to win that war if you don't have the people in the south vietnam, the government, the people did not want to fight. you cannot prop it up from outside. it is so ironic and sad and you think of how many people died, both vietnamese and americans. now we can have the good relationships

u.s. strategy in vietnam. here is henry kissinger in 1975. >> i have always considered indochina a disaster. perhaps partly because we did not think through the implications of what we were doing at the beginning. >> you included? my being in office. brian: if he thought it was a disaster, why didn't he get us out of there after the elections? niall: that's a question for volume two, so i should probably hold my fire. brian: you going to answer? niall: we are going to do our research. they are thinking before they come up with answers. i will give you a hypothetical. it is true kissinger thought of it as a disaster in the late 1960's. i show this in volume one. he went there on a series of trips and saw firsthand in 1965, 1966, saw firsthand what was going wrong. and what was going wrong was relevant to this book because here was a great hair racal entity -- hierarchal entity intervening between north and south vietnam. and failing to completely understand the networks like the viet cong, that were going to be

u.s. involvement in vietnam and talking about the interconnectiveness of global human rights struggles. as we remember dr. king this week, we have a president that is playing one against the other. it's the mexicans, even mentioning rape again. dividing, playing in a narrow kind of american nationalism. seems the contrast is striking. and therefore the mandate for those of us that believe in global human rights is clear. joining me now is atimaamtimaamd former president of young democrats of america and gop strategist and author, noel nick port. let me go to you first noel. the president this week, he put sanctions on some of the russian oligarchs and companies, major aluminum company in the world, forcing american companies like boeing can't buy aluminum from this company. the second biggest company in aluminum is in china and now he's put tariffs there. so he's really putting a real squeeze on a lot of american companies that he has said he would be the champion of, which will cost jobs and close plants. how do you justify what he's doing to his own base? the tariffs that will affect

u.s. embassy in vietnam. he became known by publishing the secret pentagon papers which proved that the us president had lied to the american public about the vietnam war for years. ellsberg decided to make the documents public after meeting peace activists who had refused the draft. i would not have thought of doing it if i didn't have the example of many many people . who are going to prison for nonviolent resistance to the draft. in one nine hundred sixty nine else greg began smuggling parts of the pentagon papers out of the government agency he worked for and copy them over the following months. a total of seven thousand pages of secret documents. in march one nine hundred seventy one he passed the documents to the new york times who eventually printed them. ellsberg surrendered himself and was charged with theft and unauthorized possession of pentagon material. the trial collapsed when it came to light that nixon and illegally wiretapped ellsberg. and agents had broken into his psychiatry ists office. el

u.s. was going to bomb north vietnam. that started the whole idea that the u.s. would be using their power to go directly against vietnam. it started with the gulf resolution passed in congress. that theme, it said president of the united states in take any action anywhere defense of america's interests against the communists. statement, but most of the reporters did not take that up. i think the people at cbs knew it. the people at washington post did, but that was it. host: he began by saying that the tet offensive proved the u.s. government was lying to the american people. why? --at that time, we were told at that time, it was already 25,000 american deaths into the war. we have been experiencing over a period of three years what it was like to fight that war. to realize that you could take a mountaintop and lose 100 marines doing so. that night, willingly pullout from that round top. the question is, why did you not take it in the first place? questions about strategy came up. credibility came up. americans were beginning to realize, when the people were -- w

u.s. army general, a decorated combat of vietnam and a former battlefield commander and a u.s.sador to russian what and author of book "from cold war to hot peace" and nbc analysts. ambassador, i'm going to start with you. there are a lot of questions that a lot of people have. and we don't have a deep understandi understanding of why russia is interested in syria. why the sudden about-face of donald trump. you have been on the show discussing that president trump will never criticize vladimir putin or russia. why now on this topic? >> i didn't expect the tweet from the president. he tweeted other things where he blamed special counsel muler and people like me. he went out of the way people who worked for obama for the poor relationship and can't we all get along. the bottom line of the comments is there is no coherent policy there. he contradicts himself. maybe the trump administration has a coherent policy towards russia and syria and the president himself doesn't seem to embrace that policy. it is all over the place and makes him look weak around the world. >> general, let's
