Synopsis
Osprey's study of the 1968 Tet Offensive, which was the decisive battle for Vietnam (1955-1975). Masterminded by the brilliant North Vietnamese General, Vo Nguyen Giap, it was intended to trigger a general uprising in South Vietnam. However, the bloody fighting for Saigon, Hue and other cities actually resulted in a catastrophic defeat for the North. In this excellent assessment of the key battle of the Vietnam conflict, James Arnold details the plans and forces involved and explains how, despite the outcome of the battle, the American people and their leaders came to perceive the war for Vietnam as lost.

    Great book in a small package

    One of the best books ever written about the tet offensive. Really describes what really happened and why we lost while winning at the same time.

    I WAS THERE IN VIETNAM DURING THE TET OFFENSIVE!

    BOUGHT THE BOOK BECAUSE I WAS THERE DURING THAT OFFENSIVE. WAS LIKE A JOHN WAYNE MOVIE, BUT THE LEAD FLYING AROUND WAS REAL! VERY INFORMATIVE BOOK. LEARNED THINGS THAT I HAD NOT REALIZED ABOUT THE TET OFFENSIVE. VERY FREAKY & FRIGHTING.

    Reliving my experiences in Saigon

    Since I was in Saigon during the Tet Offensive, it brought back some old memories. When my 4 grandsons are older, I can tell them my stories and also show them. Thanks
