| Résumé : |
"[The author] reveals ... how official policies resulted in millions of innocent civilians killed and wounded ... Turse lays out the workings of a military machine that made crimes in almost every major American combat unit all but inevitable. [This book] takes us from archives filled with Washington's long-suppressed war crime investigations to the rural Vietnamese hamlets that bore the brunt of the war; from boot camps where young American soldiers learned to hate all Vietnamese to bloodthirsty campaigns like Operation Speedy Express, in which a general obsessed with body counts led soldiers to commit what one participant called 'a My Lai a month'"--Publisher's description |
