<p>A "New York Times" Bestseller <br>"Harrowing."<br>"--The New York Review of Books <br>""An indispensable new history of the war... "Kill Anything That Moves" is a paradigm-shifting, connect-the-dots history of American atrocities that reads like a thriller; it will convince those with the stomach to read it that all these decades later Americans, certainly the military brass and the White House, still haven't drawn the right lesson from Vietnam."<br>"--San Francisco Chronicle<br>"<br>"A powerful case... With his urgent but highly readable style, Turse delves into the secret history of U.S.-led atrocities.

With superb narrative skill, he spotlights a troubling question: Why, with all the evidence collected by the military at the time of the war, were atrocities not prosecuted?"<br>--"Washington Post" <br>"There have been many memorable accounts of the terrible things done in Vietnam--memoirs, histories, documentaries and movies. But Nick Turse has given us a fresh holistic work that stands alone for its blending of history and journalism, for the integrity of research brought to life through the diligence of first-person interviews.... Here is a powerful message for us today--a reminder of what war really costs."<br>--Bill Moyers, "Moyers & Company" <br>"In "Kill Anything that Moves," Nick Turse has for the first time put together a comprehensive picture, written with mastery and dignity, of what American forces actually were doing in Vietnam. The findings disclose an almost unspeakable truth... Like a tightening net, the web of stories and reports drawn from myriad sources coalesces into a convincing, inescapable portrait of this war--a portrait that, as an American, you do not wish to see; that, having seen, you wish you could forget, but that you should not forget."<br>--Jonathan Schell, "The Nation <br> Ler mais...
