1968: The My Lai Tapes

Saturday 15 March 2008 20:00-21:00 (Radio 4 FM)

Robert Hodierne reveals the truth about the infamous My Lai massacre of 16 March 1968, based on the audio testimony made during a Pentagon inquiry. The findings of the investigation were so uncomfortable for the US Military that they were suppressed. Some 400 hours of tape show that US soldiers raped and murdered hundreds of civilians in not just one but three villages in an orgy of killing that proved to be a turning point in the Vietnam War.
