"Most of those who study and write about the Vietnam War now agree that the Tet Offensive was militarily a defeat for the Communist forces, since those forces failed to take the cities but suffered very heavy casualties in the attempt. Yet it was a victory for them politically, because it undermined support for the war in the United States. So stated, the conventional wisdom is well founded. Edwin Moise takes the controversies surrounding Tet head on, exposing the errors and misrepresentations in some of the Tet accounts and demonstrating that much of the conventional wisdom is astonishingly inaccurate."--Provided by publisher.

One point that Moise emphasizes is that he doesn't believe that there was actually a system of lies, unless you count self-deceit. The question with General Westmoreland and his subordinates always remains the difference between incomprehension and incompetence, besides the difference between maintaining confidence and believing your own propaganda.
