During the night of 6-7 February 1968, two dozen U.S. Army Green Berets and several hundred indigenous soldiers held off a numerically superior force of North Vietnamese tanks and infantry in one of the finest, most exciting examples of collective bravery, endurance, and will that any war has produced.
