5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book, December 11, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Then the Americans Came (Paperback)
The people of Vietnam tell what it was like when the Americans came to their country and destroyed it. Things you would not believe the Americans would do to a population. Publisher's Weekly said " It is difficult to imagine a more powerful indictment of American military conduct in Vietnam than these testimonies." With Photos by the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Facinating Account of The Vietnam War, February 23, 2007
This review is from: Then the Americans Came (Paperback)
This account of the Vietnam War is a good. I really think it was important for me to find out more about how Americans conducted this war and how people felt about it It is especially interesting now that the Iraq War is happening and Americans are being accused of holding people without trial and torturing people.

5.0 out of 5 stars History of war crimes and attrocities in Vietnam, October 10, 2005
This review is from: Then the Americans Came (Paperback)
Should be read in small segments, so overwhelmong is the inhumanity recounted here. The South Korean "allies" were worse torturers than the Americans.. several My Lais every day, and torture was ongoing for years for many of the civilians imprisoned in camps, too sickening to recount here. Brave book by a brave American woman.
