In February 1973, the Vietnam War — the longest war in American history to that point — is drawing to an end. More than any war before it (except the Civil War), it confused and divided the American people, forced many to disavow their government, become cynical of its intentions. It led to the beatings in Chicago, the killings at Kent State. The war’s end is accelerated by the concerted effort of a broad coalition of Americans. Discounting this entirely, Richard Nixon intends to take full credit. “We finally achieved a peace with honor,” he says. “I know it gags some of you to write that phrase.” FROM AN AMERICAN STORY
