Tet offensive has new life in current political debate. The hour-length documentary about the Tet offensive which I made some twenty years ago is still relevant, today, and has been re-released on DVD along with scholarly articles, reviews, and a 30-minute commentary by me. TELEVISION'S VIETNAM: THE IMPACT OF MEDIA deal with the press misreporting of the Tet offensive of 1968 and interviews Peter Braestrup, Douglas Pike, General William C. Westmoreland, and others about the tactical and strategic events as well as the US news coverage of the events of January-March, 1968. The program speaks to the debate this month, as we approach the Petraus Report deadline. That the "surge" is being successful in a military way only increases the likelihood of a last-minute dramatic event in Iraq and/or elsewhere. For an article which provided the research base for the program, see _http://fp.okstate.edu/osuengl/Rollins/3240.htm_ (http://fp.okstate.edu/osuengl/Rollins/3240.htm) For purchase of the program, see _http://www.shopaim.org/_ (http://www.shopaim.org/) (It is selling for $17.00 and I make nothing from the sales.) Teachers should take a special interest in this film because of the current debates and the Fall semester discussions over Iraq policy and historical analogies. Peter C.
