So...I watched the first episode on YouTube.

He starts with France in Indochina and Ho beseeching Wilson at Versailles for recognition of the Vietnamese right to self-determination....right up to the first official US military deaths in Vietnam.

The presentation seems fractured to me, what with the interspersed 'flash-forward' to the late sixties footage of grunts in the jungle, but then, his intent, I guess, is to draw the American viewer in with what the American experience was in Vietnam, in the context of the very non-American history which had gone before.
