They Marched Into Sunlight: War and Peace, Vietnam and America, October 1967 is a 2004 book written by David Maraniss. The book centers around the Battle of Ong Thanh and a protest at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
It was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for History in 2004, and won the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize that same year.
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. It won a Peabody Award. In the UK, it was also broadcast by BBC Four as How Vietnam was Lost, as part of the channel's Storyville series.
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.
