Seller's Description:
Very Good- Book Softcover, xviii, 613 pp., brief author's biography [1 p.]. Abridged edition of the 1977 2-volume hardcover printing by Westview Press. Light wear with minor soiling on covers, no owner names or gift notes, clean text, tight binding. In 1968, American newsmen in Vietnam were overwhelmed by the Communists' Tet offensive. They portrayed the battle as a disaster for the allies and the political repercussions of this image helped topple President Johnson at home and change the course of the war in Vietnam. Yet, ironically, historians now conclude that Tet was a harsh military setback for Hanoi, not Washington. Why were the press and TV so wrong? Reissued with a new introduction and added notes.
