Hey /his/, fairly interested in the Vietnam War, is there any way to properly inform yourself about it?
Now I know Wikipedia or youtube videos aren't the most reliable source for that, is there any kind of book / other medias you'd recommend for someone who really wants to learn something about it?

Street Without Joy by Bernard Fall is a excellent overview of the situation in French Indochina and the early parts of US involvement. (Fall was killed by a landmine)

The issue with Vietnam media is navigating the anti-war rants and the gung-ho histories written with blinders
to the very negative realities of the war.
'First Kill' is a great documentary on the psychology of American soldiers.

The BBC Battlefield Series (all of which is excellent) did a season on Vietnam that's also very good.

'Battle of Long Tan' is a documentary about Australians in Vietnam that's very well done.

The History of the Vietnam War is heavily politicized, so if you want to learn about, you absolutely must rely on primary sources.....books written by people who were actually there.
