Television documentary

A 2005 documentary film, titled Two Days in October, was based on this book, and produced as part of the PBS series American Experience series.[2] It won a Peabody Award.[3] In the UK, it was also broadcast by BBC Four as How Vietnam was Lost, as part of the channel's Storyville series.[4]

Film adaptation

Both Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman have the rights for making a feature film version of Maraniss's book. Their production company Playtone is very interested in having Paul Greengrass (United 93, The Bourne Ultimatum) as director of the project besides re-writing J. Michael Straczynski's first draft. Universal Pictures was expecting to release the film in 2013.
