The Vietnam War was a tragedy for both the United States and Vietnam. Yet for the Vietnamese, it was also a stunning victory: they defeated the world’s wealthiest nation and its most powerful military. How did they do it?

In this gripping episode, we sit down with James Bradley, bestselling author of Flags of Our Fathers, to explore that very question. Drawing on a decade of research and hundreds of interviews with U.S. Marines, Viet Cong snipers, Vietnamese soldiers, political leaders, and civilians on both sides, Bradley offers a deeply human account of what really happened.

 

Through firsthand stories and hard-earned insights, we examine the strategy, resilience, and will that enable a smaller, less-equipped nation to prevail—echoing the timeless story of David and Goliath. This episode challenges what we think we know about the war and reveals how the Vietnamese people achieved one of the most consequential upsets of the twentieth century.
