Book Synopsis
The legacy of the massacre of civilians at My Lai reverberates throughout Vietnam. This study considers how Vietnamese villagers in My Lai and Ha My - a village where South Korean troops committed an equally appalling massacre of unarmed civilians - assimilate the catastrophe of these mass deaths into their everyday ritual life.
