Reddit reviews Tiger Force: A True Story of Men and War

I’d like to add Bury Us Upside Down by Don Shepperd and Rick Newman

As well as Tiger Force by Michael Sallah and Mitch Weiss

Michael Sallah and Mitch Weiss won the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for reporting on "Tiger Force," an anti-sniper platoon deployed in the "free fire zone" -- specifically, for reporting the first-hand confessions by soldiers from Tiger Force that the entire platoon participated in war crimes and did so on a regular basis. The details are pretty stomach-turning, basically rape, murder, and torture of women and children in hopes of blackmailing the men in that region into identifying the snipers who were attacking US forces and then hiding among the civilian population. The same article series and eventual book cites the task force's senior officer and his superiors as denying the whole thing. See Sallah & Weiss, Tiger Force: A True Story of Men and War.

(Not that this qualifies as a defense, but it's worth pointing out that those snipers were, themselves, violating the Geneva Conventions by participating in military action while wearing civilian clothes and by hiding among civilians. But it's unclear to what extent the Geneva Conventions apply to partisan forces resisting a military invasion; certainly no such cases have ever been prosecuted.)

US Special Operations troops and CIA field officers are also generally acknowledged to have participated in the kidnapping, torture, and execution of tens of thousands of suspected communist sympathizers, see any good source on the Phoenix Program. The official US line continues to be that neither the US Army nor the CIA knew that the victims of Phoenix were innocent civilians nor that they were tortured; no historian that I know of takes this claim seriously.
