Description:... In August 1964, the United States claimed that its patrol ships were fired upon by the North Vietnamese. In response, the U.S. Congress passed the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, which escalated the Vietnam conflict into a full scale war. Point of No Return: Tonkin Gulf and the Vietnam War takes a vivid look at how the United States became embedded in the longest war in its history.
