DESCRIPTION: Vietnam doesn’t go away. “Turse lays open the ground-level reality of 
 a war that was far more atrocious than Americans at home have ever been 
 allowed to know. He exposes official policies that encouraged ordinary 
 American soldiers and airmen to inflict almost unimaginable horror and 
 suffering on ordinary Vietnamese, followed by official cover-up….Kill 
 Anything That Moves is obligatory reading for Americans, because its 
 implications for the likely scale of atrocities and civilian casualties 
 inflicted and covered up in our latest wars are inescapable and 
 staggering.\n— Daniel Ellsberg\n\n“Nick Turse reminds us again, in this 
 painful and important book, why war should always  be a last resort. We 
 failed, as Turse makes clear, to deal after the Vietnam War with the 
 murders that took place, and today, four decades later, lessons have yet to 
 be learned. We still prefer kicking down doors to talking.”     — 
 Seymour Hersh, The New Yorker   \n\nThis deeply disturbing book provides 
 the fullest documentation yet of the brutality and ugliness that marked 
 America’s war in Vietnam. No doubt some will charge Nick Turse with 
 exaggeration or overstatement. Yet the evidence he has assembled is 
 irrefutable.\n— Andrew J. Bacevich, Col, U.S.Army (Ret)\n\nNick Turse is 
 a journalist, historian, managing editor for TomDispatch.com, and a fellow 
 at the Nation Institute. His work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, 
 the San Francisco Chronicle, and The Nation. His investigations of U.S. war 
 crimes in Vietnam have gained him a Ridenhour Prize for Reportorial 
 Distinction, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a fellowship at Harvard 
 University's Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.\n\nHosted by Phillip 
 Butler, PhD, a 1961 graduate of the United States Naval Academy and a 
 former  light-attack carrier pilot. In 1965 he was shot down over North 
 Vietnam, where he spent eight years as a prisoner of war. A combat veteran 
 awarded two Silver Stars, two Legion of Merits, two Bronze Stars and two 
 Purple Heart medals, Butler is now a peace and justice activist with 
 Veterans for Peace. \n\nCo-Sponsored by Veterans for Peace, Chapter 69
