No Gun Ri

Compelled by the known fallacies in the Pulitzer Prize-winning Associated Press story of the alleged slaughter of South Korean refugees at No Gun Ri, Major Bateman presents an alternate explanation of the events through the perspective of the soldiers and their commanders, the 1948-50 South Korean civil war, and the broader state of US military policy and force readiness. He debunks the AP allusion to a widespread massacre of civilians by US forces at No Gun Ri and shows how veterans who allegedly witnessed this event and influenced others were not even present. It is told concisely with extensive documentation from previously overlooked sources.
