9.0 / 10 average from 1 rated reviews

January 1968. It is the time of Tet. the Vietnamese lunar new year. Both sides have agreed to a cease-fire. But someone has no intention of honoring their word. News out of Washington is that the war is winding down. The mood among GIs is optimistic, for troop reductions in Southeast Asia will soon begin. But the night of January 30 would change that forever. U.S. Army Special Forces Captain Mack Gerber and his team of crack commandos find themselves in Saigon when the Tet offensive is launched. The air of celebration among Vietnamese welcoming the Year of the Monkey quickly deteriorates into death as enemy rockets and mortars bombard the South Vietnamese capital, turning the city into streets of fire. This is the story about the infamous Tet offensive. It is not a politician's story. It is not a journalist's story. It is a soldier's story.

The Phantom 9/10 March 2, 2023

This book is more like the earlier titles in the series, a better plot, diversified action, and a cast of characters from the beginning of the series. The story focus is on the perception of the war from various lenses. You have the soldiers point of view, the military brass perspective, and the view from the press. Ultimately this would effect the perspective of the American citizens at home. The buildup of forces seen in the previous books now make their move, causing a lot of damage and chaos, and Gerber, Fetterman and a few other soldiers familiar with readers get a spotlight in the middle of it all. Excellent storytelling, edge of your seat action, and a good plot make this a terrific entry in the series.
