Product Description
Review
"My Lai impresses me both with the editors' exhaustive and extensive efforts to document the...massacre and its implications and, especially, with the superb introduction--one of the most graceful and potent pieces of historical writing I have come across in recent years. This volume will certainly make a valuable contribution to...modern U.S. history."
Product Description
This volume introduces students to the most controversial incident of the Vietnam War - the My Lai massacre when almost 400 Vietnamese civilians were killed in four hours. The authors discuss the ramifications of the cover-up and the ensuing investigations for the American public, policymakers, the anti-War movement and the soldiers involved. They examine the causes of the massacre and the issues of culpability and human rights. The narrative is built around 70 primary documents drawn mainly from testimony and reports from the government enquiry into the outrage.

A great read of a controversial topic

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
James Olson does it again. Distinguished professor and author of a variety of books on John Wayne, the Alamo, breast cancer, sports, Indian rights, etc., Olson clearly sifts the wheat from the chaff and tells us what really happened in the Viet Nam war's worst massacre.
