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

If you want to read about torture, rape, murders and well... Just about every war crime that happened everyday there, this is definitely the book to read. Gag, gag.

The book is a good read. But you have to be used to reading true crime or holocaust books to get through it. (Just a general statement there.)

Thanks for the link.

By the way, the comment he gave about how many notes there are? There's 85 pages worth. More than I've seen in a book actually.

Bugliosi's book RECLAIMING HISTORY has a CD ROM with all the footnotes since there would be well over a thousand pages!

Footnotes?
The Bugliosi book has almost 1000 pages of footnotes...which is a lot!

I would say this book should be required reading if you're delving into Vietnam. Considering what he uncovered.
