Vietnam: The My Lai Massacre
We explore one of the most harrowing events of the Vietnam War.
How did a US Army mission in Vietnam end with the massacre of up to 500 people?
In this episode, Don is joined by Christopher Levasque to examine one of the most harrowing chapters of the war in Vietnam. They return to March 1968, when the men of Charlie Company undertook a 'search and destroy' mission in the Quang Nai province of Son My.
