The Vietnam War Original Score was composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for the Ken Burns TV documentary miniseries The Vietnam War. The score was released on September 15, 2017 on digital, double CD, and vinyl. The vinyl included a digital download card. Its release number is Null 06, in keeping with The Null Corporation's numbering system.
This is not to be confused with the separate soundtrack for the same series, featuring period music by various artists. The series also features previously released Nine Inch Nails tracks (mainly from Ghosts I-IV) and Reznor/Ross tracks from The Social Network Soundtrack and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Soundtrack.
