Title:
Vietnam: A Television History; Interview with Richard M. Moose, 1981
Description:
Richard Moose was on the staff of the United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 1969 - 1975. He describes his mission in Vietnam after the ceasefire in 1974 to assess the situation of how the South Vietnamese were positioned in terms of military equipment provided by the Americans and the possibilities of South Vietnam's survival. He mentions that the strategies in Vietnam and Cambodia were doomed to failure and that by the 1970s it was clear that the end was near. Mr. Moose details his report that led to the evacuation of Saigon, and reflects upon the meanings of the Vietnam War.
