About this listen
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."
Drawing on a decade of research into secret Pentagon files and extensive interviews with American veterans and Vietnamese survivors, Turse reveals the policies and actions that resulted in millions of innocent civilians killed and wounded. He lays out in shocking detail the workings of a military machine that made crimes all but inevitable.
Kill Anything That Moves finally brings us face-to-face with the truth of a war that haunts America to this day.

Unparalleled detail
This needs to be taught in schools as a way to respect those who have died from senseless killing and for those who have died trying to uncover the truth

Brutally Honest History of US Atrocities
A book that fleshes out many of the horrific crimes committed by US soldiers in Vietnam. Hardly a great read, but a necessary one exposing how war brings out the evil in young men. From the Mai Lai massacre to lesser known acts of savagery Turse paints a vast portrait of a war dictated by body counts at any cost. Not so much a story as a ledger of disturbing behaviour and criminality run amok.
