Abstract:

"Volume #13: During the Tet truce for Chinese New Year, January 31st 1968, the Vietcong carry out a surprise attack on America's Embassy in Vietnam's capital, Saigon. It is the beginning of a country-wide offensive as major cities are assaulted all over Vietnam and thousands are killed. Television footage of the attacks are broadcast in America where the CBS Anchorman Walter Chronkite publicly questions America's involvement in the war. His report sends shock waves through an American public already wavering in their support for President Lyndon Johnson."
