From critically acclaimed military historian Eric Hammel comes a vivid oral history account of the Tet 1968 siege of the Khe Sanh Combat Base. The words of American fighting men caught up in the grueling seventy-seven-day ordeal create a harrowing portrait of tragedy and triumph. "Khe Sanh: Siege in the Clouds is a ground-breaking step forward in the oral history genre. This gripping-and moving-narrative flows smoothly from the masterfully woven threads provided by nearly a hundred american fighting men who gallantly endured the wrenching all-out struggle to hold the combat base and its vulnerable outlying positions.
