Seems a biased account, according to Publishers Weekly:
- Relative to the number of alleged participants, U.S. interviewees are few. (A high proportion, the authors find, suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.) The authors take pains to establish the men of No Gun Ri as dropouts and throwaways teenage rejects of a postwar society obsessed with prosperity and anti-communism. That in turn makes it easier to show them, as well as the Korean civilians, as victims of a government that sent them to Korea to fight a civil war on the side of squalid local tyranny.
- This volume, with its focus on personal experience, is correspondingly best understood as advocacy reportage, eschewing critical analysis by concentrating on the victims on both sides of the rifles. [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0805071830/104-7206004-7446304?n=283155]
Hmm, how to add this to the article? --Uncle Ed 16:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
