The pilot who saved lives during a massacre

The GI who thwarted an “almost total” cover-up

The photographer whose images provided proof

Four villages, three massacres, two companies, (one conviction)

 

where are the villages of My Lai, My Khe and Binh TAy?

The My Lai TAPES

Listen to a documentary I made with BBC R4, first broadcast on March 16th 2008, the 40th anniversary of the massacre

The My Lai Tapes

This is the Vietnamese version, first broadcast by the BBC World Service in March 2008

The My Lai Inquiry, a short video I made for The Economist.

Newly declassified witness testimony and photographs from the American army's own secret inquiry into "The My Lai Massacre". Incredibly an army photographer, Ronald L. Haeberle covered the assault and helicopter transmissions throughout the early part of the attack were recorded. The first voice is Colonel Frank Barker directing the attack while flying over My Lai on March 16th 1968
