Battlefield Vietnam - Showdown In The Iron Triangle Features twelve episodes exploring the events of the Vietnam conflict from a military perspective.
What began as a simple ambush by the Viet Cong's Ninth Division on a U.S. helicopter carrying troops turned into one of the largest skirmishes of the Vietnam War. This, the fourth episode in the PBS series Battlefield Vietnam, details the events of the search and destroy mission 'Operation Attleboro' and the first airborne parachute drop of the war in 'Operation Junction City.' Additional highlights include footage of the U.S. Army 'tunnel rats' in the underground network used by the Viet Cong, and a bullet-dodging ride along the deadliest road in all of South Vietnam.
