Incident on Hill 192

The incident on Hill 192 refers to the kidnapping, gang rape, and murder of Phan Thi Mao, a young Vietnamese woman, on November 19, 1966 by an American squad during the Vietnam War. Although news of the incident reached the U.S. shortly after the soldiers' trials, the story gained widespread notoriety through Daniel Lang's 1969 article for The New Yorker and his subsequent book. In 1970 Michael Verhoeven made the film o.k., based on the incident. In 1989 Brian De Palma directed the film Casualties of War, which was based on Lang's book.
