It will devastate two countries

      It will toppled the President of the United States

            It will killed two million people

And one man will try to stop it before it begins

 

The award-winning The Ghosts of Tonkin tells the powerful, behind-the-scenes story of how seemingly well-intentioned public officials brought about one of the most devastating chapters in the history of the United States: the Vietnam War.  And how Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon struggled to stop it before it began.
