Editorial Reviews

Review

"William Thomas Allison has produced an excellent, concise introduction to a critical episode in the Vietnam War. The documents and illustrations add context and depth to an already-fine narrative. This book will be valuable to new students and teachers of Vietnam alike."

-Robert Buzzanco, author of Vietnam and the Transformation of American Life

"This volume covers the period before, during, and after the Tet offensive of January 1968, in an effort to show why these events constituted the pivotal moment in turning Americans against the war in Vietnam. William Allison has fleshed out a nicely-written narrative with numerous illustrations, followed by documents, along with the views of historians, all encouraging the reader to form an independent assessment of the problems in getting out of war. An excellent work for the classroom, moderate in length, and guaranteed to stir student interest."

-Howard Jones, author of Death of a Generation: How the Assassinations of Diem and JFK Prolonged the Vietnam War

"The debate as to whether the Tet Offensive was a military victory and/or a psychological defeat for the United States has continued for nearly forty years. Professor Allison’s book places this debate in the proper context, by letting the voices of the participants speak for themselves, whether they be politicians or soldiers. His insightful commentary allows the reader to examine the primary documents with a clearer understanding of this critical event in American history."

-John R. Milam, Vietnam Combat Veteran, Texas Tech University
