Vietnamese hamlet of My Lai and massacred 400 unarmed women, children, and old men. Only four of the soldiers were ever brought to trial - only one was convicted. We never would have known about My Lai without intrepid American journalists, especially Seymour Hersh. Now two English filmmakers, Michael Bilton and Kevin Sim, have excavated the My Lai massacre after twenty years of coverup and willed forgetfulness, first in a powerful TV documentary, now in this heart-wrenching book. By interviewing both American and Vietnamese survivors and analyzing a wealth of material, Bilton and Sim have produced a book that courageously awakens memory and conscience to tell a story that should never be forgotten. This is a stunning and crucial contribution to the history of the Vietnam war.
