Historical Perspective

Try to get your hands on Stephen E. Ambrose, “Americans at War”

There is an article in it called “My Lai: Atrocities in Historical Perspective” (A reference to the villager killings during Vietnam). It might help all of you understand why these kind of things happen in war. While I don’t completely agree with the article, I do have a better understanding of war time Atrocities and why they can happen. Any decent sized library should have this book.
