FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The definitive and highly-acclaimed account of the battle for Hue during the Tet Offensive in 1968. In Fire in the Streets, the dramatic narrative of the battle for Hue unfolds on an hour-by-hour, day-by-day basis. In addition, Hammel examines the tremendous strain the surprise attack put on the South Vietnamese-U.S. alliance, the shocking brutality of the Communist "liberators," and the lessons gained by U.S. Marines forced to wage battle in a city–a task for which they were utterly unprepared and which remains highly relevant today. Re-issued in the fiftieth anniversary year of the battle, with an updated photo section and maps this is the only complete and authoritative account of this crucial landmark battle.
