HUE 1968 A Turning Point of the American War in Vietnam

by | Read by Joe Barrett

History • 18.75 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2017

From the author of BLACK HAWK DOWN comes an audiobook on the Tet Offensive, a battle that had a profound effect on the American effort in Vietnam and that continues to shape our political and military systems today. The audiobook is a concise, detailed history that uses new documents and research to enlighten the record. Narrator Joe Barrett's voice, always scratchy, careworn, and haggard, has just the sound this book needs to carry it forward. He sounds like an old boot and offers no quarter when detailing the battle's ravages, both in terms of men and American strategy. He doesn't use great range, but he varies his voice throughout to enhance the author's solid writing. R.I.G. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2017]
