Thanks for the heads up, Octafish.

It's interesting because The Nation has come out with a negative review ..

"How Rory Kennedy’s ‘Last Days in Vietnam’ Distorts History." By @NickTurse in @thenation: http://bit.ly/1C3RHWd

Now this is nothing new for The Nation .. especially with regard to the Kennedys.

Although as that piece mentions The Nation has produced far more good than bad. A current example would be Greg Grandin's excellent piece on the assassination of Alberto Nisman.

BTW an excellent read on the origins of the Vietnam War comes from John Newman ..

James Douglass' book is another good one on Vietnam too.

Looking forward to Rory's film.
