Go Tell the Spartans is set in Vietnam during that period in which American troops were euphemistically termed "advisors". Reluctantly dispensing much of that advice is veteran American major Asa Barker (Burt Lancaster).

Wendell Mayes adapted Go Tell the Spartans from the novel Incident at Muc Wa by Daniel Ford. Hal Erickson, Rovi
