I highly recommend Kill Anything that Moves by Nick Turse. The My Lai massacre wasn't the exception, it was the rule. The true scale of rape and murder by U.S. forces - often against our supposed "allies" among civilian South Vietnamese - may never truly be known. But Turse has done an admirable job in trying to discern it.
