Rather, it was pervasive and systematic, the predictable consequence of official orders to "kill anything that moves." Drawing on a decade of research into magic formula Pentagon documents and intensive interviews with American veterans and Vietnamese survivors, Turse uncovers the procedures and actions that led to millions of innocent civilians killed and wounded. He lays out in shocking aspect the workings of a armed service machine that made crimes all but inescapable.
