My Lai Massacre in American History and Memory

On 16 March 1968, two US infantry companies entered a Vietnamese village and, in the course of a single morning, killed over 400 of its unarmed, unresisting inhabitants. This book examines the response of American society to the massacre, and its ambiguous place in American national memory.
