The Ancient City That Changed America's War
In the predawn darkness of January 31, 1968, the sacred silence of Vietnam's Tet holiday was shattered. Nearly 10,000 North Vietnamese Army (NVA) troops and Viet Cong guerrillas poured into Hue like a "mighty python," streaming across bridges, through fortress gates, and along the wide boulevards of Vietnam's ancient imperial capital. They arrived in waves-by sampans on rivers, on commandeered motorbikes, in captured jeeps. Within hours, the blue and red flag with yellow star of the National Liberation Front flew over the Citadel, photographed and broadcast worldwide as a symbol of American vulnerability. This wasn't supposed to happen. Hue was considered safely behind American lines, its population of intellectuals and religious communities largely neutral in the conflict. The fall of this cultural treasure would trigger 24 days of the most intense urban combat Americans had experienced since World War II-and forever change how Americans viewed the Vietnam War.
