The Making of a Murderer
Abstract
The author believes that inadequately expressed anger and aggression are largely responsible for atrocities committed by our soldiers in Viet Nam. He describes the case of a young man in late adolescence who attempted suicide after being involved in an incident like the My Lai massacre. The author concludes that immaturity, basic personality problems, and the frustrating circumstances of combat in Viet Nam all contribute to willful killing and the subsequent reactions to it.
