A Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist in History

Winner of the 2018 Marine Corps Heritage Foundation Greene Award for a distinguished work of nonfiction.

The first battle book from Mark Bowden since his #1 New York Times bestseller Black Hawk Down, Hue 1968, "an instantly recognizable classic of military history" (Christian Science Monitor), was published to massive critical acclaim and became a New York Times bestseller.

In the early hours of January 31, 1968, the North Vietnamese launched over one hundred attacks across South Vietnam in what would become known as the Tet Offensive. The lynchpin of Tet was the capture of Hue, Vietnam's intellectual and cultural capital, by 10,000 National Liberation Front troops who descended from hidden camps and surged across the city of 140,000. Within hours the entire city was in their hands save for two small military outposts. American commanders refused to believe the size and scope of the Front's presence, ordering small companies of marines against thousands of entrenched enemy troops. After several futile and deadly days, Lieutenant Colonel Ernie Cheatham would finally come up with a strategy to retake the city in some of the most intense urban combat since World War II.

With unprecedented access to war archives in the U.S. and Vietnam and inter-views with participants from both sides, Bowden narrates each stage of this crucial battle through multiple viewpoints. Played out over twenty-four days and ultimately costing 10,000 lives, the Battle of Hue was the bloodiest of the entire war. When it ended, the American debate was never again about winning, only about how to leave. Hue 1968 is a gripping and moving account of this pivotal moment.

Would not work in my jeep
Color: Textured
This seems like a decent holder, however it is not universal as it would not fit in my jeep. Check to make sure you have the right kind of air vents for it. I could not get it to work for my vehicle as the vents are too wide.

Works great!
Color: Black, Color: Black
This is a very simple, lightweight phone mount. It works well, I’m surprised how securely it fits on the car vent. I’ve tried others and couldn’t get them to fit right. My phone slides into the top and fits nicely. It was easy to install.

No drilling required
Size: Large
I installed this on my 2021 4Runner with the adhesive provided and no drilling. It has been a few months and it’s still solid. I live in Hawaii and the temps in the car have reached over 100* F pretty consistently and the adhesive has held up very well. There are a lot of attachment points for whatever you want to use it for. I only wish they sold the magnetic mount that it comes with so everything can match up. I use it for my phone and baby monitor. I would purchase this again.
