(More customer reviews)It is impossible not to be moved by this great story. Any serviceman will know that not obeying orders and even worse - to turn your weapons on your own and make a cristal clear threat - usually means severe trouble; either being shot at the spot or to be court-martialled and cicked out of the military. This is the unique story of a man and his crew who did just that. - To save some total strangers; some civilians they did't know and had no responsibility for. They could easily have turned their heads away, and gotten away from it. But they acted, and took charge. Humanity needs heroes and ideals that we can look up to and to lead us in difficult moments. The two surviving crew members have been my true heroes through more than ten of my military years. Their My Lai story of courage and ideals and high morale has been tought to Norwegian, Swedish and Danish soldiers and officers as military ethics, code of conduct and law of war for many years already. The British TV film on My Lai, shown also in all the Scandinavian countries should be seen by servicemen and particularly in all military academies all over the world. This book is an impressive and important milestone. My compliments and highest recommendation. Terje Lund.
