This book examines the response of American society to the My Lai massacre
and its ambiguous place in American national memory. The author argues that
the massacre revelations left many Americans untroubled. It was only when
the soldiers most immediately responsible came to be tried that opposition
to the conflict grew, for these prosecutions were regarded by supporters of
the war as evidence that the national leaders no longer had the will to do
what was necessary to win.
