The U.S. Marine Combined Action Platoons and the Battle that Changed the Vietnam War
The battles to recapture Hue from the flood of North Vietnamese who entered and seized the city during the 1968 Tet Offensive was a defining moment for the United States in the twentieth century.
The Road to Hue seeks to broaden our understanding of the Battle of Hue by concentrating instead on the story of how we got there. The battles to recapture the city are described in detail, but more important is the story of how the city of Hue was left undefended despite overwhelming evidence that an attack was imminent.
