Vietnam. A television history. Ngo Minh Khoi [produced by WGBH Boston Video]
Description
Ngo Minh Khoi was a second lieutenant of the paratroop forces. In 1968 he was stationed in Sa-dec and recalls the Tet Offensive and his participation against the communist forces in the area of Tan Son Nhut. Lt. Ngo Minh Khoi contends that the Communists lost that battle and many of them were killed in the surrounding mines. He talks at length of the casualties that occurred and the weapons and other war materials he managed to capture from the Communists. The interview also touches on Lt. Ngo Minh Khoi's thoughts on the Americans pulling out of Vietnam, his opposition to the government of President Nguyen Van Thieu and the eventual collapse of Saigon.
