With Americans turning against the war in ever greater numbers,
struggles for power between the government and the military, and no
end in sight to the fighting, the Tet Offensive of 1968 proved to
be the turning point of the Vietnam War. In The Tet Offensive,
historian William Thomas Allison provides a clear, concise overview
of the major events and issues surrounding the Tet Offensive, and
compiles carefully selected primary sources to illustrate the
complex military, political, and public decisions that made up Tet.
The Tet Offensive is composed of two parts: an accessible,
well-illustrated narrative overview, and a collection of core
primary source documents. Throughout the narrative, historiographic
questions are addressed within the text to highlight discussion
among historians over pivotal points of debate. The objectively
selected documents provide students with raw material from which to
gain insight into these events through their own analysis, and to
improve their ability to discuss and understand the importance of
historical scholarship. Approachable and insightful, The Tet
Offensive is not only a great introduction to reading history
through primary sources, it is an essential tool for understanding
what made the Tet Offensive such an important turning point of the
Vietnam War.
