Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"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."

Reseña del editor:

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.
