The slaughter in a poor, sandy village complex south of Chu Lai and just off Highway 1 was originally covered up by officers at every level in the 11th Brigade and the parent Americal Division. The cover-up came undone when an Army photographer took his photos and story to a budding muckraker named Seymour Hersh.
