"'Fire in the Streets' is the highly detailed combat history of U.S. Marine Corps units in urban combat in Hue City during the 1968 Communist Tet Offensive. The focus of the story is on small units and individual fighting men as they grapple with advancing through the unfamiliar terrain across an urban battlefield. 'Fire in the Streets' spent many years on official U.S. Marine Corps professional reading lists as the best example of modern military operations in urban terrain." Publisher's description
