Americans have long been taught that events such as the notorious
My Lai massacre were isolated incidents in the Vietnam War, carried
out by just a few "bad apples." But as award-winning journalist and
historian Nick Turse demonstrates in this groundbreaking
investigation, violence against Vietnamese non-combatants was not
at all exceptional during the conflict. Rather, it was pervasive
and systematic, the predictable consequence of official orders to
"kill anything that moves." Drawing on more than a decade of
research into secret Pentagon archives and extensive interviews
with American veterans and Vietnamese survivors, Turse reveals for
the first time the workings of a military machine that resulted in
millions of innocent civilians killed and wounded - what one
soldier called "a My Lai a month." Devastating and definitive, Kill
Anything That Moves finally brings us face-to-face with the truth
of a war that haunts America to this day.
