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.
