A REPORTER AT LARGE OCTOBER 18, 1969 ISSUE, CASUALTIES OF WAR, By Daniel Lang
For as long as she lived, Eriksson did not know her name. He learned it, eventually, when the girl’s sister identified her at court-martial proceedings—proceedings that Eriksson himself instigated and in which he served as the government’s chief witness. The girl’s name—her actual name—was Phan Thi Mao. Eriksson never exchanged a word with her; neither spoke the other’s language. He knew Mao for slightly more than twenty-four hours. They were her last. The four soldiers with whom he was on patrol raped and killed her, abandoning her body in mountain brush.

Brian De Palma’s 1989 film of a true incident during the Vietnam war is mostly impressively accurate. Just don’t watch it over breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner
