challenging dark emotional informative tense fast-paced

5.0

A deep dive look at the horrific actions of so many Americans in Vietnam, which includes but isn’t limited to mass murder, torture, and a prolific culture of rape. Its a really heavy book and it’s amazing that the legacy of this war, despite having testimony from veterans that this all happened, has been so thoroughly sanitized that we’re trained as Americans to empathize with the soldiers that did horrendous things rather than their victims.
