Marines in Hue City A Portrait of Urban Combat, Tet 1968

The Vietnam War is often pictured as a jungle conflict, punctuated by American troops fighting in rural hut-filled villages. But in the 1968 Tet Offensive, the war spilled out of the jungle into the streets of Hue City. The battle for Hue became one of the most important of the war, a month of grueling house-to-house fighting through buildings and around civilians. The Marines in Hue Citydocuments the intense urban combat in Hue with many never-before-seen photographs, including over one hundred in full color.Hammel, Eric M. is the author of 'Marines in Hue City A Portrait of Urban Combat, Tet 1968', published 2007 under ISBN 9780760325216 and ISBN 0760325219.
