The Battle for Hue, Tet 1968

FIRE IN THE STREETS
The Battle for Hue, Tet 1968

Eric Hammel

The Tet Offensive of January 1968 was the most important military campaign of the Vietnam War. The ancient capital city of Hue was a key objective of the surprise Communist offensive, but when the North Vietnamese launched their massive invasion of the city, instead of the general civilian uprising and easy victory they had hoped for, they were faced with a U.S.—South Vietnamese counterattack and a devastating battle of attrition. In the end, the battle for Hue was an unambiguous military and political victory for South Vietnam and the United States.

In Fire in the Streets, the dramatic battle narrative battle unfolds on an hour-by-hour. The focus is on the U.S. and South Vietnamese soldiers and Marines—from the top commanders down to the frontline infantrymen–and on the men and women who supported them. Eric Hammel expertly draws on first-hand accounts from the battle participants in this engrossing mixture of action and commentary.

In addition, Hammel examines the tremendous strain the surprise attack put on the South Vietnamese—U.S. alliance, the shocking brutality of the Communist “liberators,” and the lessons gained by U.S. Marines forced to wage battle in a city–a task for which they were utterly unprepared.

With access to rare documents from both North and South Vietnam and hundreds of hours of interviews, Hammel, in a highly readable style, has produced the only complete and authoritative account of this crucial landmark battle.
