The enemy gains ground when the massive Tet Offensive catches the Americans by surprise. At Khe Sanh and Pleiku, U.S. troops are under siege. Americans mount a counteroffensive but the shock of the assault ignites anti-war fervor at home. Then, the turmoil of 1968 helps Nixon win the presidency. Troop strength in Vietnam peaks and the draft accelerates. Karl Marlantes endures bitter jungle fighting on Hill 484, and draftee Arthur Wiknik gets a grim introduction to combat on "Hamburger Hill". But shortly after winning both hills, U.S. troops abandon them.

Hero Ships: USS Samuel B. Roberts (Military History)

http://
The first Samuel B. Roberts, DE-413, perished in the greatest naval battle ever fought. In October 1944, as part of minimal force protecting jeep carriers in Leyte Gulf, the vessel faced a tremendously superior Japanese fleet. Fighting to the death, the DE-413 was able to fend off much of the Japanese force before sinking to the bottom of the ocean. The name Samuel B. Roberts appeared two more times, including the FFG-58, launched in 1984, participating in Desert Storm, and today is on-call for homeland security.

http://
Explores the defining event that shaped the destiny of America's southern neighbor. The first great revolution of the 20th century began as a revolt against a dictator and ended in civil war with action on both sides of the border. It lasted more than a decade and consumed hundreds of thousand of lives as Mexico struggled to live up to its ideals of land and liberty. Its heroes, including Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, have become legends whose passionate beliefs, macho images and fearless leadership still inspire many today. Using rarely seen archival footage, reenactments shot in Mexico, and interviews with American and Mexican historians, we bring to life an epic story of betrayal, blood, and glory.
