Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1969, Delta Company was conducting combat operations in the southeast outskirts of the city of Hue, the third largest city in South Vietnam. The former capital of Vietnam with its imposing Citadel along the Perfume River was preparing for its annual celebration of Tet, the Vietnamese New Year which began on 23 February. #2 The Tet Offensive was a major turning point in which the American people’s support for the war took a downward turn. It was a severe political consequence for President Johnson, who was not the only high-level official to go. #3 At Tet, the beginning of the lunar new year, in late February 1969, the enemy attacks only minor targets and positions around Hue. #4 The US Army’s infantry mission in combat is to find, close with, and destroy the enemy. However, in the current area of operations, this has been difficult. Since 1969, we have done a lot of looking but not much finding.
