Peers Leads Army Inquiry Into My Lai Massacre Probe
Lt. Gen. William R. Peers, a veteran 31-year Army officer noted for a blunt style, heads the high level review of the March 1968 My Lai investigation. He examines why the original report found no massacre and why it was not escalated higher, while affirming the system for reporting atrocities when properly used. The Iowa-born general, with extensive intelligence and espionage background, previously led units in Vietnam and held key CIA training roles before taking charge at the Pentagon.
