"Beyond the Offensive" by Roger Neville Williams, American Report, July 14, 1972

In this interview, journalist Wilfred Burchett explains that the NLF (National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam) judged battles by their political impact, not just military results, and believed the Tet Offensive was a turning point because it weakened U.S. support for the war. He argues that despite heavy U.S. bombing and technology, the Viet Cong kept the advantage by gaining support in the countryside. Burchett also notes that as the war had spread across Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, peace was now harder to achieve.
