Hue 1968 A Turning Point of the American War in Vietnam synopsis

By January 1968, despite the influx of half a million US troops, fighting in Vietnam seemed to be in trouble. However, General William Westmoreland, the commander of US forces, announced a new phase of war in which the "end" would begin to emerge.

The North Vietnamese had different ideas. In mid-1967, the Hanoi leadership began planning an attack aimed at winning the war with one blow.

Part of the military action and popular uprising, the Tate attack included attacks throughout southern Vietnam, but the most dramatic and successful is the capture of Hui, the country's cultural capital. At 2:30 am on January 31, 10,000 FLN troops descended from hidden camps and marched through the city of 140,000.

By morning, all Hugh was in good hands except for two small military posts. State leaders and politicians in Washington have refused to believe the size and size of the LTTE.

Captain Chuck Meadows commanded the 160-member golf company against thousands of enemy troops in the first attempt to re-enter Hugh later that day. After several useless and deadly days, Lt.

Col. Ernie Chitham finally developed a strategy to regain control of the city, through construction, blocks and construction, in some of the most intense urban fighting since World War II.

With unprecedented access to the US and Vietnam war archives and interviews with participants from both sides, Boden tells each stage of this crucial battle through multiple perspectives. It was the Battle of Hugh, which carried out more than twenty-four days of terrible fighting, which ultimately cost 10,000 fighters and civilians, the most bloody battles in the entire war.

When it was over, the American debate was not about winning again, but about how to leave. In 1968, Bowden brilliantly reconstructed this pivotal moment in the American war in Vietnam. "The book is a great work, and wonderful about the battle as you'll probably read." Hell, I wish I had written that.

- The Times' Hue 1968 is a vivid and accurate account of an important battle.
