Path to War is a 2002 TV movie, produced by HBO that deals directly with the Vietnam War as seen through the eyes of President Lyndon Johnson and his cabinet members. The movie starts off after LBJ's 1964 landslide election. It shows some of the good things the administration did early on, such as civil rights, before the war consumed it. The majority of the movie however, focuses on LBJ's good intentions being thwarted by a war gone wrong. The movie is considered an insightful view of President Johnson's often misunderstood and challenging Presidency.
