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

5.0

finally decided to pick this up after watching A24's Civil War and it really just cemented the brutalities of war. Admittedly, I knew very little about the Vietnam War before reading this but I was shocked at the consistent stream of atrocities commited by the US throughout the war. If you thought the extent of the US massacres in Vietnam stopped at the My Lai massacre, pick this up. It's a brutal read full of disgusting actions taken by the US army from the soldiers taking orders, all the way up the chain to the generals giving these orders, to the government and press covering up these war crimes. Hard but necessary read to combat the US propaganda of the Vietnam War, referred to by Vietnam as the American War.
