Description
On the 50th anniversary of the Tet Offensive comes "We're Taking Fire," a powerful examination by Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent Peter Arnett of what led to that pivotal moment in the Vietnam War and its tumultuous aftermath.
Through his reports for The Associated Press from the early 1960s to the fall of Saigon in 1975, and interviews conducted during and after the war, Arnett explains the complexities that drove the decisions made by the Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon administrations and how each was unable to achieve a winning strategy.
Illustrating Arnett's compelling story are more than 50 images from AP's Photo Archives and his personal collection. This book provides unique insights into the battles, maneuvers and cultural challenges that prevented a definitive victory in Vietnam, offering valuable lessons learned and forgotten.
