The book requires some effort. It is a long book, but well worth the effort. Bowden has written his best book since Black Hawk Down. This is a wonderful history told from both sides.

The first review reads as though it is for the book "Battle for Hue Tet 1968" by Keith William Nolan. 198 pages. published in 1983. Mostly about the units under the command of LT. Col. Ernest C.
