The book described how the Tet Offensive destroyed the support for continuing campaigns of aerial bombardment and ground search & destroy missions, creating instead the view that further escalation was futile. In a Washington Post article a year later, he acknowledged "that the Tet Offensive was not the shattering military defeat for the U.S. and South Vietnamese forces it appeared to both Washington and the American people.
