But as award-winning journalist and historian Nick Turse demonstrates in this groundbreaking investigation, violence against Vietnamese noncombatants was not at all exceptional during the conflict. Rather, it was pervasive and systematic, the predictable consequence of official orders to kill anything that moves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on more than a decade of research into secret Pentagon archives and extensive interviews with American veterans and Vietnamese survivors, Turse reveals for the first time the workings of a military machine that resulted in millions of innocent civilians killed and wounded-what one soldier called a My Lai a month. Devastating and definitive, \u003ci\u003eKill Anything That Moves\u003c\/i\u003e finally brings us face-to-face with the truth of a war that haunts America to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250045065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.33h x 5.48w x 1.11d","brand":"Nick Turse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36648522678428,"sku":"9781250045065","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d66511fe-575e-4a4d-9c36-6561fa2421b7.jpg?v=1603870280","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/kill-anything-that-moves-the-real-american-war-in-vietnam-9781250045065","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
