I was at the Chicago screening and saw excerpts from all 10 episodes. Believe me there will be many many things that will surprise you. They have recording by Lyndon Johnson and Nixon that were never made public and the interviews with Viet Cong officers and soldiers will be very illuminating. Nixon intentionally thwarted a peace deal between North and South just to swing the election his way! More like Treasonous Dick. You'll also learn that the media intentionally ignored US military successes while over-reporting minor skirmishes. - not exactly what Burns expected to find.
