Calley approached Esquire in 1970 to sell his version of the My Lai story. John Sack, known for his impactful war reportage, met with Calley to discuss collaboration despite concerns of glorifying a murderer.
Sack eventually decided to work on an as-told-to account of Calley's story, which was published in three parts in Esquire and later as a book, portraying Calley's perspective on the events of the My Lai massacre.
