"This spectacular book is the first of its kind - an illustrated history of the fierce fight on the streets of Hue which contains over 200 amazing images! Marines in Hue City covers all phases of the battle, from the opening shots and the Marines' arrival to the 'six-block war' and the seizure of the Citadel. The detailed city maps of downtown Hue and the Citadel provide overall context of the battle, and allows you to connect the book's images with the battle zone. And in addition to describing all the tactics and weaponry used by the Marines, author Eric Hammel provides an extraordinarily detailed caption for every picture.
