Fire in the Streets: The Battle for Hue Tet 1968
Fire In The Streets: The Battle For Hue, Tet 1968 is the definitive combat narrative of the bitter, hard-fought, running battle of the 1968 Communist Tet Offensive.

Both a primer for modern war in an urban environment and a thundering testament to the brave Marines and soldiers who wrested Vietnam's hallowed royal city from the best troops North Vietnam ever fielded, Fire In The Streets is a thrilling read that cannot be put down until the final objective has been secured and the final shot has been fired. Fire In The Streets is the definitive book on the the battle for Hue.  --Midwest Book Review
