The Battle of Dak To was a series of engagements in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam. Using body counts as the metric for success, the U.S. declared the battle a victory. But the Communists achieved their objectives: they pulled U.S. battalions away from urban areas in preparation for the massive Tet Offensive to come.
This primary source comes from the Records of the U.S. Forces in Southeast Asia.
