| Summary, etc. |
In mid-1967, the North Vietnam leadership had started <br/> planning an offensive intended to win the war in a single <br/> stroke. Part military action and part popular uprising, <br/> the effort included attacks across South Vietnam, but the <br/> most dramatic and successful would be the capture of Hûé,<br/> the country's intellectual and cultural capital. At 2:30 <br/> a.m. on January 31, the first day of the Lunar New Year <br/> (called Tet), ten thousand National Liberation Front <br/> troops descended from hidden camps and -- led by locals <br/> like eighteen-year-old village girl and Viet Cong member <br/> Che Thi Mung -- surged across the city of 140,000. By <br/> morning, all of Hûé was in Front hands save for two small<br/> military outposts. The American commanders in country and <br/> politicians in Washington refused to believe the size and <br/> scope of the Front's presence. Captain Chuck Meadows was <br/> ordered to lead his 160-marine Golf Company in the first <br/> attempt to reenter Hûé later that day. Facing thousands <br/> of entrenched enemy troops, he reported: "We are outgunned<br/> and outmanned." After several futile and deadly days, <br/> Lieutenant Colonel Ernie Cheatham would finally come up <br/> with a strategy to retake the city, block by block and <br/> building by building, in some of the most intense urban <br/> combat since World War II. With unprecedented access to <br/> war archives in the United States and Vietnam and <br/> interviews with participants from both sides, Bowden <br/> narrates each stage of this crucial battle through <br/> multiple points of view. Played out over twenty-four days <br/> of terrible fighting and ultimately costing more than ten <br/> thousand combatant and civilian lives, the Battle of Hue <br/> was by far the bloodiest of the entire war. When it ended,<br/> the American debate over the war was never again about <br/> winning, only about how to leave. |
