The publisher's blurb reads: ''In a remote mountain stronghold in 1968, six thousand US Marines awoke one January morning to find themselves surrounded by twenty thousand enemy troops. Their only road to the coast was cut, and bad weather and enemy fire threatened their fragile air lifeline. The siege of Khe Sanh -- the Vietnam War's epic confrontation -- was under way. Greg Jones takes readers into the trenches and bunkers at Khe Sanh to tell the story of this extraordinary moment in American history. He captures the exceptional courage and brotherhood that sustained the American fighting men throughout their ordeal. It brings to life an unforgettable cast of characters. Drawing on in-depth interviews, thousands of pages of archival documents, and scores of oral history accounts, the author delivers a poignant narrative.''
