They Marched Into Sunlight -
In the Long Nguyen Secret Zone of Vietnam, a renowned battalion of the First Infantry Division is marching into a devastating ambush that will leave sixty-one soldiers dead and an equal number wounded.
On the University of Wisconsin campus in Madison, students are staging an obstructive protest at the Commerce Building against recruiters for Dow Chemical Company, makers of napalm and Agent Orange, that ends in a bloody confrontation with club-wielding Madison police. And in Washington, President Lyndon Johnson is dealing with pressures closing in on him from all sides and lamenting to his war council, "How are we ever going to win?"
Based on David Maraniss' novel.

Madison in the 60s, what an incredible place to live. Growing up and watching national gaurd troops drive up and down University Dr, through the campus with machine guns mounted on jeeps. The campus alive with activism. Everyone wanted to make a difference and end the war.
The book was incredible, what the soldiers went through was undeniably horrible. While I can't say I was in Viet Nam, I lived through Madison and all that happened there, and we all wanted to make a difference.
Can't wait to see the movie,
Anyone else interested in Madison in the 60s ought to rent The War at Home.
