Tet! : The Turning Point in the Vietnam War

Editorial Reviews
Review

"Tet! is a rare commodity in war chronicles and a book that justifies its own exclamation mark... A pioneering work." -- John Franklin Campbell, New York Times Book Review

"The author's reconstruction of the battle ranks with the best war reporting of World War II and Korea." -- Frederick Taylor, Wall Street Journal

"[Oberdorfer] has written here a book which should take its place alongside the historical volumes about Vietnam of Bernard Fall and Robert Shaplen." -- John Hughes, Christian Science Monitor

"It is essential reading for everyone concerned about the Vietnam war -- and the making of American foreign policy... An important as well as a fascinating book." -- Anthony Lake, Washington Post

Review

"Oberdorfer gives suspense to history. This is what reporting should be." -- David Halberstam

"A valuable addition to the history of our purgatory... The reporting is bull's-eye accurate." -- Walter Cronkite
