[Peace-discuss] interview about the book: Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam

[Karen Medina]

'Anything That Moves': Civilians And The Vietnam War
Fresh Air

"The U.S. government has maintained that atrocities like [the My Lai
Massacre] were isolated incidents in the conflict. Nick Turse says
otherwise. In his new book, Kill Anything That Moves: The Real
American War in Vietnam, Turse argues that the intentional killing of
civilians was quite common in a war that claimed 2 million civilian
lives, with 5.3 million civilians wounded and 11 million refugees."
