Gen Giap, in an interview with Morley Safer in 1989, said this:

"We paid a high price [during the Ted offensive] but so did you [Americans]... not only in lives and materiel.... Do not forget the war was brought into the living rooms of the American people. ...

i>The most important result of the Tet offensive was it made you de-escalate the bombing, and it brought you to the negotiation table. It was, therefore, a victory...."

"The war was fought on many fronts. At that time the most important one was American public opinion."
