The Lost Battalion of TET: Breakout of the 2/12 Cavalry at Hue

The Lost Battalion of TET: Breakout of the 2/12 Cavalry at Hue Review



February 3, 1968: There was no compelling reason for a U.S. infantry battalion to assault a fortified North Vietnamese Army force two hundred yards away with no artillery or air support. The defenders had every advantage....

A harrowing firsthand account of one of the earliest and bloodiest engagements of the Tet Offensive, this revised edition of Charles A. Krohn's masterwork of warfare gone tragically wrong remains as vital and incisive as when it first appeared, its lessons more relevant than ever. Why an ill-equipped U.S. infantry battalion was ordered to attack an overpowering North Vietnamese force -- a military foul-up resulting in more than 65 percent casualties for the 2d Battalion, 12th Cavalry -- is the bloodstained mystery Krohn lays bare even after the U.S. Army attempted to wipe the incident from official records. Captured here, too, are the supreme efforts of one bold commander to save the lives of his men and bring the doomed mission back from the brink of total disaster.

Zojirushi BBCC-V20 Home Bakery Traditional Breadmaker

Zojirushi BBCC-V20 Home Bakery Traditional Breadmaker Review



Zojirushi BBCC-V20 Home Bakery Traditional Breadmaker Feature

  • Bakes up to 2-pound loaves of fresh homemade bread
  • Includes 10 different baking settings
  • Programmable delay timer makes meal planning easier
  • Nonstick bake pan material for easy cleaning
  • Measures 17 by 10 by 12 inches; 1-year warranty
Zojirushi Home Bakery looks like an ordinary bread machine, but its additional features are a welcome surprise. It not only makes French, sandwich, basic, wheat, homemade, and other bread types, but it also makes jams, cakes, and pizza dough. Using the technology found in most bread machines--dual kneading blades, automatic timer, crust control, and auto shutoff, the Home Bakery heats and mixes jam ingredients, leaving refrigeration as the final step. The cake setting operates similarly to the bread process, but the machine adjusts its temperature to retain the moisture of cakes, such as German chocolate or butter.

Aside from the plethora of uses, this machine offers many important technical features. Its quick baking option allows bread making in only two hours, the time usually spent waiting for the dough to rise. The timer also can delay baking for up to 13 hours. A beep signal lets you know when you should add fruits or nuts to the dough or jam, and another sounds when the loaf, cake, or jam is finished. Cleanup is simple, as the internal pan and kneading blades are coated with a nonstick material. Before starting, make sure to take advantage of the included recipe book and instructional video that thoroughly discuss each use of the machine, providing many helpful hints and care tips. --Madeleine Miller One of the most wonderful sensory experiences has to be the smell of baking bread. It nourishes the soul and warms the heart, just as the finished product nourishes and warms the body. This bread maker not only makes a splendid horizontal loaf, it's easy to use and clean, meaning it won't join the dud appliances gathering dust while they wait for the next yard sale.
