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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNick Turse\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Complex\u003c\/i\u003e, the managing editor for TomDispatch.com, and a fellow at the Nation Institute.
