challenging dark informative sad tense slow-paced

4.5

So heartbreaking, but so important. The author does a good job of describing the horrific events of what Americans did in the war without sounding clinical. I think this is an essential read, especially with the ongoing conflict in Palestine

Crucial for understanding the scope of the Vietnam War and just how far the US government went to cover up war crimes. A truly haunting read that traces the lineage of colonialism and imperialism to present day with the rhetoric surrounding Israel’s and the west’s genocide in Palestine.
