Book Description
Compelled by the known fallacies in the Pulitzer Prizewinning Associated Press story of
the alleged slaughter of South Korean refugees at No Gun Ri, Major Bateman, an academic
historian and professional soldier, 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 U.S. military policy and force readiness. In a solid
historical analysis of the incident he debunks the AP allusion to a widespread massacre of
civilians by U.S. forces at No Gun Ri and shows how veterans who allegedly witnessed this
event and influenced others were not even present. Told concisely with extensive
documentation from previously overlooked sources.
