About This Item
Washington, D.C: U S Government Printing Office, 1997. 823 Pages/illus/maps. The year 1968 was the year of the Tet Offensive including Khe Sanh and Hue City. These were momentous events in the course of the war and they occurred in the first three months of the year. This book documents that 1968 was more than just the Tet Offensive. The bloodiest month of the war for the U .S. forces was neither January nor February 1968, but May 1968 when the Communists launched what was called their "Mini-Tet" offensive. This was followed by a second "Mini-Tet" offensive during the late summer which also was repulsed at heavy cost to both sides. By the end of the year, the U .S. forces in South Vietnam's I Corps, under the III Marine Amphibious Force (III MAF), had regained the offensive. Light edge-wear to dj. Text clean. 1st Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good (+). 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
