Yet it was a victory for them politically, because it undermined support for the war in the United States. So stated, the conventional wisdom is well founded. Edwin Moise takes the controversies surrounding Tet head on, exposing the errors and misrepresentations in some of the Tet accounts and demonstrating that much of the conventional wisdom is astonishingly inaccurate."--Provided by publisher. 611 27 $a Tet Offensive (1968) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01148295 611 27 $a Vietnam War (1961-1975) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01431664 648 7 $a 1961-1975 $2 fast 650 0 $a Tet Offensive, 1968. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $z United States. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Military intelligence $z United States. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Public opinion. 650 7 $a Military intelligence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021270 650 7 $a Public opinion $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082785 650 7 $a HISTORY / Asia / Southeast Asia. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Military / Vietnam War. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 2 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022629.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20180703010125.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6621A5167E8611E8BC70ED0E97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
