The Bridge at No Gun Ri: A Hidden Chapter from the Korean War is a book about the No Gun Ri incident, in which dozens or hundreds of Korean civilians died at the hands of US ground troops. In 2000 three Associated Press writers were awarded the Pulitzer Prize for the 1999 investigative articles. Their various accounts of the historical event were immediately disputed by other journalists. The "AP Version" remains in dispute to this day. The book was a commercial failure, with most of the print run sold as "remainders" after two years. The reporters have not yet published any historical documents on this topic. The authors decline to submit their interviews, videotapes, audio records, or any other historical documents related to their historical research that they acquired over time to an archive. One of the reporters asserts that these historical documents are private, Associated Press, property. It is unclear if this position will change in the next 30?50 years.
