This time we win - revisiting the Tet offensive

James S. Robbins is senior editorial writer for Foreign Affairs at The Washington Times, Executive Director of the American Security Council Foundation and Senior Fellow in National Security Affairs at the American Foreign Policy Council. He specializes in counterterrorism, counterinsurgency and military history. He served in government for ten years, and was awarded the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joint Meritorious Civilian Service Award. Approaching 43rd anniversary of The Tet offensive, This Time We Win exposes the fallacy of the dominant narrative surrounding the Tet Offensive – and, through it, the Vietnam War writ large. It is a much needed study, with important lessons for today's conflicts.
