Turse, who devoted 12 years to tracking down the true story of the war, studied secret troves of documents, interviewed officials and veterans-including many accused of war crimes-and traveled throughout the Vietnamese countryside talking with eyewitnesses to create his book Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam. The program concludes with an essay on the human and political costs behind wartime "collateral damage.
