Nearly half a century has passed since Marine veteran Dale Dye fought in Hue during the 1968 Tet Offensive.

The story is told through the eyes of a veteran Marine Corps Combat Correspondent with the observational skills and off-beat attitude to relate what he sees from the close-quarter, house-to-house meat-grinder of the southside to the epic assault on the enemy-infested walls of the city’s medieval Citadel in a voice that reflects the Code of the Grunt: Just do it—or die trying. There it is. $1.99 on Kindle.
