Great series

I've really enjoyed listening to this series. The events highlighted range from famous to obscure and each is illuminating in its own way about the state of the current world.

interesting podcast - new light on a history topic

My family and I really enjoyed listening to this on a recent car trip. It was a wonderful balance between podcasts and audio books. This episode in particular was interesting to all, whether knowing the story or not. Even those of us generally familiar with the period learned something new.

The event that started the Vietnam war

August 4, 1964
The Gulf of Tonkin Incident, also known as the USS Maddox incident, is a highly disputed international confrontrontation that led to the U.S. engaging in the Vietnam War. This event was a confrontation between North Vietnam and US ships in the waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. The original report blamed North Vietnam for the ‘attack’ but in 2005, NSA publications proved that the US government lied to justify the war in Vietnam.

I knew that the Vietnam war was a very controversial one. I didn’t realize that the original event that prompted the US to directly get involved was a lie. The truth was revealed in 2005 but I still figured this would have been something that I would have heard about when it came out.

This was a fascinating look at history and the lies that have been told to further people plans. I found it fascinating that President Johnson’s actions in declaring the war changed how future presidents would act on these matters. I never realized it was different before his presidency.

Again, the only issue with this episode was the sonar noise they kept making. It was very annoying and headache inducing.
