The CIA last year released a collection of declassified memorandum, cables, briefings related to the 1968 Tet Offensive. This is just one, but any student of the Vietnam War might find these interesting.
This paper was written about two weeks before the Tet Mau Than Offensive commenced on January 30th.

As this paper shows, the US couldn't figure out why Hanoi seem so confident during these first few weeks of 1968.
(The nerd in me spends a great deal of time sifting through declassified documents. I invested many hours--too many--going through bin Laden's computer files. But it's like gold mining. All that debris sometimes turns up an unexpected nugget.)
