Medieval War. Despite the promise of Truong's moves around Hué, the military initiative still belonged to the canny North Vietnamese Defense Minister, General Vo Nguyen Giap. Last week, after a lull of ten days, Giap resumed the offensive. The new Communist thrust was pure Giap-methodically prepared, lavish with firepower, and at an unexpected point.
