CNN's story of Operation Tailwind was one of the biggest scandals of the late 1990s news industry. Here, Jerry Lembcke delves into the origins of the story and how it came to be believed, not only by those who told it but by news reporters and the public.

Jerry Lembcke delves into the origins of CNN''s 1998 story about U.S. soldiers in Vietnam using nerve gas on defectors and how it came to be believed, not only by those who told it, but by news reporters and the public. In his investigation, Lembcke shows that the myth of Operation Tailwind originated in the fiction of popular culture, the unreliability of memory, and the conspiracy-minded, ultra-Right wing, fundamentalist Christian community.
