Silent Spring - Deadly Autumn of the Vietnam War
What would you say if I told you there are disturbing things the US Government hasn't told you about the Vietnam War and doesn't want you to know?

It's the story of countless veterans who served in Vietnam and could even be your story.

The work isn't just another rehashing of the war or Agent Orange. Rather it's a "silver bullet" which cuts through to the heart of the circumstances and chemical used in Vietnam -- enduring toxic herbicides and insecticides -- which in some cases are still being used to this very day all over the globe, even right here in America.
