The hardest book I’ve ever read. Not because of readability but because of content and the deep personal connection to me and my family.

The Mỹ Lai massacre was not a terrible one-off isolated event. It was the norm. “Kill anything that moves” was the order. Countless killings and atrocities of innocent Vietnamese people just trying to survive in their homes and villages.

Well researched with official documentary evidence, veterans’ testimonies, contemporaneous press coverage, Vietnamese eye witness accounts, classified official studies, and the U.S. military’s own formal investigations.

Truly heartbreaking but an absolutely necessary read.
