Bilton, Michael and Kevin Sim. Four Hours in My Lai. New York: Viking, 1992; Penguin USA, 1993.
     *CORE* A fine detailed and relatively unbiased account of the massacre at My Lai 4, the subsequent cover-up and the investigations that followed. Bilton and Sim are British journalist who don't bring to this work as much baggage as American authors do, and there was some historical distance between the events and their writing.
Vietnam Veterans Against the War. The Winter Soldier Investigation: An Inquiry into American War Crimes. Boston: Beacon Press, 1972.
