Against a superior enemy force bent on their annihilation, six thousand Marines held the remote Khe Sanh Combat Base, and emerged victorious from the most important battle of the Vietnam war. The author urges a long overdue recognition of the stunning fortitude displayed by Marines and other members of the U.S. Armed Forces at Khe Sanh, which promises to reshape the way we remember the Americans who fought for their nation in Vietnam.
