Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam by Nick Turse

4.0

challenging dark informative sad medium-paced

I knew some of the atrocities that happened during the American War in Vietnam but reading this made me realize just how ignorant the American public is about foreign wars- especially in the 20th century. Nothing, I repeat, nothing is more disgusting than the repugnant, inhuman glee that men have at any chance to have unchecked power over someone they think is lower than them. I will never look at a veteran from that war the same ever again.
