Good Read/Nick Turse

A dark, depressing, yet essential read.

With a thorough scrutiny of archival documents and other primary sources, including many interviews with the U.S. soldiers and Vietnamese citizens who were there, Nick Turse makes a condemning case against the U.S. in the Vietnam War--or as it is referred to in Vietnam, the American War.

We knew it was a mistake, some of us sooner than others, but rarely is the scope of the mistake stated this clearly and with such abundant evidence.

This is a legacy many Americans continue to ignore, one that should continue to be exposed for its treacherous mythologies and our tendency to smooth over its horrific reality.
