Americans have long been taught that events such as the notorious My Lai massacre were "isolated incidents" in the Vietnam War, carried out by a few "bad apples." However, as award-winning journalist and historian Nick Turse demonstrates in this pioneering investigation, violence against Vietnamese civilians was not at all exceptional. Rather, it was pervasive and systematic, the predictable consequence of official orders to "kill anything that moves."

Essential, gripping listening for those interested in US military/Cold war history. It was difficult for me to listen for more then 20 minutes at a time because the revelations were so gruesome, the described US policy incomprehensibly cruel, and the US military's failure to bring wrongdoers to justice maddening. This is an unforgettable book.
