Ebook: This time we win: revisiting the Tet Offensive

Vietnam, the limited war -- The war and public opinion -- The view from Hanoi -- The light at the end of the tunnel -- Code name: Buttercup -- Intelligence failure -- The embassy attack -- "The shot seen round the world" -- Assessing the broader offensive -- The battle of hue city -- Hue and my lai -- Khe Sanh, Lang Vei -- The Walter Cronkite moment -- Johnson surrenders -- Loan agonistes -- Tet's legacy.;James S. Robbins provides an antidote to the flawed Tet mythology still shaping the perceptions of American military conflicts against unconventional enemies and haunting our troops in combat. In his re-examination of the Tet Offensive, Robbins analyzes the Tet battles and their impact through the themes of terrorism, war crimes, intelligence failure, troop surges, leadership breakdown, and media bias.
