A Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist in History

Winner of the 2018 Marine Corps Heritage Foundation Greene Award for a distinguished work of nonfiction.

The first battle book from Mark Bowden since his #1 New York Times bestseller Black Hawk Down, Hue 1968, "an instantly recognizable classic of military history" (Christian Science Monitor), was published to massive critical acclaim and became a New York Times bestseller.

In the early hours of January 31, 1968, the North Vietnamese launched over one hundred attacks across South Vietnam in what would become known as the Tet Offensive. The lynchpin of Tet was the capture of Hue, Vietnam's intellectual and cultural capital, by 10,000 National Liberation Front troops who descended from hidden camps and surged across the city of 140,000. Within hours the entire city was in their hands save for two small military outposts. American commanders refused to believe the size and scope of the Front's presence, ordering small companies of marines against thousands of entrenched enemy troops. After several futile and deadly days, Lieutenant Colonel Ernie Cheatham would finally come up with a strategy to retake the city in some of the most intense urban combat since World War II.

With unprecedented access to war archives in the U.S. and Vietnam and inter-views with participants from both sides, Bowden narrates each stage of this crucial battle through multiple viewpoints. Played out over twenty-four days and ultimately costing 10,000 lives, the Battle of Hue was the bloodiest of the entire war. When it ended, the American debate was never again about winning, only about how to leave. Hue 1968 is a gripping and moving account of this pivotal moment.

Good quality
This product is very good. It smells weird but it’s not bad. It works, I applied it once and got a bit darker. About the packaging it could’ve been handled better, one of the bottles spilled a little bit and it was everywhere

My favorite moisturizer with SPF
Color: Untinted (1.7 oz)
Great mineral sunblock. One of the few mineral sunblocks that is easy to rub in so you don't look like Caspar the ghost after you apply it. Great natural ingredients. My only wish is for Clean + Kind top also make their daily moisturizer with SPF in a stick

Pretty good
Color: Tinted (1.7 oz)
This tinted spf checks a lot of boxes for me, but the smell when you initially put it on isn’t good.. (but then it goes away). I like that’s it’s not too matte and not too oily.

Unicorn sunscreen
Color: Tinted (1.7 oz)
I've used at least three bottles of both the body and face sunscreens by this line. It's honestly a unicorn sunscreen. Actually clean ingredients, over 18% zinc oxide, which apparently is the minimum needed to actually combat harmful rays, affordable, actually sinks into the skin and doesn't leave a white cast, AND my kids don't complain when I apply it to them. I use very high-end facial products and I've added this very affordable sunscreen to my daily routine and have been extremely impressed. Highly recommend and I'm so glad I found it.
