The Bridge at No Gun Ri is a non-fiction book about the killing of hundreds of South Korean civilians by the United States military near the village of Nogeun-ri (노근리) from July 26-29, 1950, early in the Korean War, also known as No Gun Ri massacre. The full title of the book is The Bridge at No Gun Ri: A Hidden Nightmare from the Korean War. Published in 2001, it was written by Charles J. Hanley, Sang-hun Choe, and Martha Mendoza, with researcher Randy Herschaft, the Associated Press (AP) journalists who broke the forgotten story about the mass killing of Korean civilian refugees in news reports that the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for investigative journalism and 10 other major national and international journalism awards. The book looks in depth at the lives of both the villager victims and the young American soldiers who killed them, and analyzes various U.S. military policies including use of deadly force in dealing with the refugee crisis during the early days of the war.
