"Vietnam Diary No. 19" by Richard Tregaskis

In this draft article, Tregaskis reflects on General Westmoreland’s leadership in Vietnam, noting his military successes in pushing back the enemy but also how the Tet Offensive’s portrayal in the American press turned that victory into a perceived defeat. He goes on to explain that while U.S. and South Vietnamese forces made steady gains, the lack of strong propaganda and public relations allowed enemy narratives to overshadow battlefield results.
