Book summaryThis investigative report looks into the 1969 incident in a Vietnamese village where then-Lt. Bob Kerrey led a Navy SEAL unit that fired on civilians raises many questions. Vistica interviewed several members of Kerrey's unit, and their recollections differ from the account given by Kerrey in his own book, WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN. Media reviews"To his credit, Vistica seems to have approached his subject from the start with an open mind, an inherent sense of fairness and a determination to pursue a story that many reporters would have abandoned in frustration. He deserves credit for his perseverance and for bringing a subject of national significance to public attention. But he has also accused Bob Kerrey, a distinguished public servant and decorated military veteran, of war crimes, using evidence that would never convict him in a court of law." |
