This review is from: City Fights: Selected Histories of Urban Combat from World War II to Vietnam (Paperback)
This is an uneven book with a few good essays. Unfort., the maps are inexplicably poor. They really look like photocopies of faxes that were then slapped into the book. Many cannot be read at all. By far the worst essay is William Waddell's account of Tai-erh-chuang, 1938. It is garbled and confusing, and has no map at all! If there ever was a chapter on how not to write military history it is Waddell's.

This review is from: City Fights: Selected Histories of Urban Combat from World War II to Vietnam (Paperback)
Dennis Fresch's personal account of the fighting in An Hoa is the one and only up close and personal account in this book. It makes for the best chapter there in.
While the below review by someone else is good...the battle for Hue City in 1968 lasted 30 days. I know, I was there. Norm Cooling's "Hue City, 1968: Winning a Battle While Losing a War"--The six-day fight for the cultural center of Vietnam revealed how the American military's distrust of the media made it fail to expose the enemy's mass executions and lose the all-important information war.
