Book, Shulimson, Jack, TET-1968: The Vietnam War
There was light at the end of the tunnel. The war in Vietnam was now winnable. The suddenly American TV screens exploded with violent fighting in the streets of Saigon, sabotage at the US Embassy, and raids on over one hundred US installations. The Tet Offensive of 1968 had started, a bold series of surprise attacks that cost both sides dearly. The Communists lost 40,000 lives and failed to spark a popular revolution; the Johnson Administration began to lose credibility with the American people. The beginning of the end of the war had begun.There was light at the end of the tunnel. The war in Vietnam was now winnable.
