I heard part of an interview with the author last Sunday on 560 AM.
The claim that the US prevailed over the NVA in the Tet offensive is not new to me. Even if the American MSM had gotten the story correct and helped maintain public support for the war, would the outcome have been any different? Apparently the author believes this, and once again the example of Vietnam is being used to bludgeon the public into maintaining their resolve regarding American interventions overseas. If the book is more military history than neocon propaganda defending the GWOT and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, I might read through it.
