Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Stageman's narration is steady and measured, perfectly suited to this grim subject matter. He doesn't sensationalize, instead letting the horrific details speak for themselves. The pacing is excellent, neither rushing nor dwelling on the atrocities, allowing listeners to absorb the magnitude of the event. However, the lack of emotional inflection might leave some listeners craving more nuance. Despite this, The My Lai Massacre is a crucial listen, a stark reminder of war's darkest moments. The production is clean and unobtrusive, letting the story take center stage.
