A thorough history of the bloodiest battle during the American war in Vietnam. The book discussed in great detail the hubris on both sides that led to this disaster for the citizens of Hue. I didn't realize how Stalingrad-like the street to street fighting was. I got drafted into the Army in 1969 and carried the images of this battle in my head when I was shipped out as an infantryman to Vietnam. The hawks in this country who talk glibly about going to war with North Korea need to read this book.
