In this account of one of the worst intelligence failures in
Americanhistory, James J. Wirtz explains why U.S. forces were
surprised by the North Vietnamese Tet Offensive in 1968. Wirtz
reconstructs the turning point of the Vietnam War in unprecedented
detail. Drawing upon Vietcong and recently declassified U.S.
sources, he is able to trace the strategy and unfolding of the Tet
campaign as well as the U.S. response.
