The Battle of Huế began during the pre-dawn hours of Jan. Bowden’s meticulously reported account of the Battle of Mogadishu. The results are in every way worthy of the author of “Black Hawk Down” (1999), Mr. Bowden makes events vivid and easy to understand for a reader with no military experience and only limited knowledge of the Vietnam War. One reason I call this book an extraordinary feat of journalism is that Mr. Those consequences were, and remain, myriad and complex. It deals instead with these generalities’ consequences in a battle that can stand as an epitome of the entire war. “Huế 1968” doesn’t expound either side’s purported ideals or assumptions, nor does it deal in foreign-policy generalities like the domino theory. In this last element-the first-person, human element-it’s a battle history alone in its class. Bowden writes in his source notes, it is “mostly the work of a journalist,” the result of four years of travel, investigation and, above all else, interviews with those who were there.
“Huế 1968” is expertly researched military history, but, as Mr. It tells the story from the points of view of American and Vietnamese politicians and generals as well as the battle’s participants and civilian witnesses. Like the best of such histories, it makes brilliant use of contemporary records and of previously untapped archives. Like all battle histories, it concerns military units, their movements and casualties. Mark Bowden’s account of the Battle of Huế-“the bloodiest of the Vietnam War, and a turning point not just in that conflict, but in American history”-is an extraordinary feat of journalism.
