On the fiftieth anniversary of the Tet Offensive comes We're Taking Fire, a powerful examination by Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent Peter Arnett of what led to that pivotal moment of the Vietnam War in 1968 and the tumultuous aftermath.

Through his reports for the Associated Press from the early 1960s to the fall of Saigon in 1975, and interviews conducted during and after the war, Arnett explains the complexities that drove the decisions made by the Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon administrations and how each was unable to achieve a winning strategy that would put an end to the unpopular and controversial conflict.

As an eyewitness to the battles, maneuvers, and cultural challenges that prevented a definitive victory, Arnett provides unique insights that only one who was on the ground can share as well as perspectives shaped by decades of observing America and Vietnam since the war.

We're Taking Fire, which deciphers the war and its toll on Lyndon B. Johnson's presidency, is a must-listen about lessons learned and lessons forgotten.
