A list of best English-language secondary sources for No Gun Ri Massacre (along with news reports):
• The Bridge at No Gun Ri (Henry Holt and Co., 2001) – comprehensive as of 2001; narrative book, with extensive epilogue on sources; at Amazon, including Kindle; also e-book at MacMillan [1]; also 700-plus libraries.
• “No Gun Ri: Official Narrative and Inconvenient Truths,” in Critical Asian Studies, December 2010; text posted elsewhere at this user page, without its illustrations. Examination of the U.S. Army investigative report; definitive as of 2010.
• No Gun Ri Incident Victim Review Report, Committee for the Review and Restoration of Honor for the No Gun Ri Victims (Government of the Republic of Korea, 2009, isbn = 978-89-957925-1-3). In English. Available only in print, at Amazon and at some university libraries. (This is not the 2001 Korean investigative report, which is not available in English; it’s the 2005 “inquest” report.)
• Collateral Damage: Americans, Noncombatant Immunity, and Atrocity after World War II (Routledge, 2006); at Amazon, including Kindle; 200-plus libraries. This is the book that followed Conway-Lanz’s award-winning article in the Journal of Diplomatic History, “Beyond No Gun Ri,” January 2005. I expect to post pages of that article at this user page.
• Embattled memories: contested meanings in Korean War memorials, Suhi Choi (University of Nevada Press, 2014); at Amazon; includes interviews with female No Gun Ri survivors, and discusses evolution of NGR story. This grew from her “Silencing Survivors’ Narratives” in Rhetoric & Public Affairs, 2008; and her Ph.D. thesis at Temple University, 2006, “The Korean War caught in history and memory: Examining United States media coverage of the No Gun Ri incident (1999--present) and Korean survivors' testimonies.”
• “Records and the understanding of violent events: Archival documentation, historical perception, and the No Gun Ri massacre in the Korean War,” Donghee Sinn, Ph.D thesis at University of Pittsburgh; also, “Room for archives? Use of archival materials in No Gun Ri research,” Donghee Sinn, Arch Sci, published online 18 May 2010, abstract at [2]
