Vietnam Revisited

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Two programmes presented by Julian Pettifer. The images of Hollywood films such as The
Deerhunter and Apocalypse Now have almost eclipsed the reality of the terrible 16-year-long war in Indo-China. But what was it really like for those who were there? From 1966 until the fall of Saigon,
Julian Pettifer reported for the BBC in Vietnam and Cambodia - until now he has not been allowed to return. From Ho Chi Minh City to the Vietcong tunnels at Cu Chi, he explores how the country has survived the post-war period.
