Publisher's Synopsis
For the first time, the saga of the Tet Offensive as portrayed in the Vietnam Journal series is compiled into trade paperback! Volume Five - Tet '68 stands alone yet continues the Vietnam Journal saga as creator Don Lomax used a six issue series to spotlight what many have called the turning point of the Vietnam War. Although it was a military victory for the United States, the ramifications of the Tet Offensive drove American public opinion against the war, led to the highest casualty rates of U.S. soldiers, and re-energized the draft. The Tet Offensive was the beginning of the end to the Vietnam War. Don Lomax's Vietnam Journal has been hailed by Military Book Club, Entertainment Weekly, School Library Journal, Publisher's Weekly, and many others for its realistic and thought provoking approach and Lomax's skill in telling true tales of the war that brought such divisiveness to the American public. "...against the stereotype of the Vietnam veteran...vivid...convincingly drawn." - Leonardo Rifis, peace activist, Comics Journal. "Powerful...you must buy this book." - Tony Isabella. "For those of us who were there, it looks like the real thing." - Jim Hastings, Chapel Hill, NC
