The Bombing of North Vietnam over Christmas 1972 finally has broken the will of the North to keep the fight going. The South Vietnamese will be forced by Nixon to accept a deal not totally to their liking. But finally this horrific War looks like it could be coming to an end.
As we approach the end of the incredible year of 1972, we fast forward to the Richard Nixon Presidential Library , and an event hosted by the Richard Nixon Foundation.
A panel of former members of the National Security staff will examine the chronology, key players, and impact of the Paris Peace Accords. The panel will include Winston Lord, John Negroponte, and Dick Smyser. Fox News national security analyst KT McFarland will moderate in an event on "Vietnam and the Paris Peace Accords" These were the people who negotiated us out of the war in Vietnam under the leadership of Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon and their insights are important for anyone wanting to understand that war and the price America and Vietnam paid for the conflict.
Finally, we go back to December 1972, as the year closes out, a year that saw Richard Nixon's greatest triumphs as President, Time Magazine names both President Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger as the joint Men of the Year. We end with an interview with Henry Kissinger in more recent times as he recalls the honor and the events of this most important year, 1972.
