The Vietnam War on Trial: The My Lai Massacre and the Court-Martial of Lieutenant Calley (Landmark Law Cases & American Society)
"A wise, discerning, and powerful account of a notable trial that illuminates the larger meaning of the Vietnam War. Belknap's extraordinary analysis of the My Lai story skillfully explores the atrocities, the cover-up, and the political manipulation of the affair, and takes us beyond contemporary journalism to the complex history of what happened - and why." Stanley Kutler, Author Of The Wars Of Watergate; "I thought I'd overdosed on books about Vietnam years ago, but this one is terrific. It somehow manages to maintain its balance without losing its power to mesmerize. Vietnam junkies and novices alike can not help but be affected by it." John Hart Ely, Author Of War And Responsibility: Constitutional Lessons Of Vietnam And Its Aftermath
