![The Unit [Seasons 1-4] Complete Series](https://web.archive.org/web/20190329215600im_/https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/A1l7uFiTILL._AC_UL160_SR122,160_.jpg)
If you are looking for an overview of the entire VN War, I DO NOT recommend this 3 DVD set! I still feel to this day after watching many that "Vietnam: The 10,000 Day War" is still the best in that regard. However, this set does have a few good things going for it. The first DVD deals well with the U.S. units involved in Laos and the initial units that were sent to Vietnam as advisory groups, especially the Special Forces and JFK Training Center at Smoke Bomb Hill at Fort Bragg. If you want to know the details about the battle of Hamburger Hill, the second DVD goes into more detail than necessary about that battle. It is excellent for the Vietnam War buff who wants to know the units involved tactics, weapons, and blow by blow chronology of that particular battle. The last DVD is unique in that it thoroughly covers Stockdale and his being shot down and spending 7 and ½ years in the Hanoi Hilton. But more importantly, it goes into the Gulf Of Tonkin incident, involving the Turner Joy and Maddox, and verifies the fact that Stockdale, including other aviators on scene as well as crewmembers have testified that they saw NOTHING but the Turner Joy and the Maddox, and NO TORPEDO BOATS. Shortly afterwards, Stockdale was sent on the first raid over North Vietnam, and was shot down.
On the downside, the narration at times is hard to hear due to the background being too loud. Also, some of the scenes used in the video presentation of the Battle of Hamburger Hill for instance, have nothing to do with that battle, but are in fact from previous battles such as Dak To June 66, where B Battery, 2nd Battalion, 320 Field Artillery, was overran. This might be ok if it was a simulation of the fire fight, using actors, but I don't think it's a good idea to splice together footage from other battles and use it in one battle.
