Terrible accounts of murder, torture, and neglect are told, and it seems from Zinn’s perspective, this was an event that could have been avoided had the American government not been created with an instinctual itch for action.

Initially, a criminal investigation was the primary focus for one the Navy’s main ship supplier, Glen Defense Marine Asia, a Pacific Fleet. However, investigators turned their inquiry to another contractor who supplied ships located in the waters of Africa, Middle East, and South America.
