Nations at war have long honored holidays by pausing their aggression. In 1968 during the celebration of the Lunar New Year, Tet, North Vietnamese forces took advantage of this tradition, ignoring the implied ceasefire and launched a cunning, highly effective offensive in South Vietnam. While a tactical defeat for the Viet Cong, thanks in large part to acts of American heroism like those stirringly depicted here, the Tet Offensive was the turning tide that eventually led to American withdrawal.
