The battle of Khe Sanh was won by the U.S., and the Vietnam War was lost at the same time. "Expendable Warriors" describes at multiple levels the experiences of the soldiers and marines who were expendable in the political chaos of Vietnam in 1968. On January 21, 1968, nine days before the Tet offensive, tens of thousands of North Vietnamese regulars began the attacks on the Khe Sanh plateau, which led to the siege of the Khe Sanh Combat Base. General Westmoreland was fully aware that the North Vietnamese would attack but he declined to alert or warn the small unit of American soldiers and marines serving at Khe Sanh in an advisory capacity, considering them expendable in the greater strategy. Not just an analysis of the battle, "Expendable Warriors" also ponders the question of how to win an unpopular war on foreign soil, linking battlefield events to political reality.
