The Bang-Bang Club: Snapshots from a Hidden War is an autobiographical book about the Bang-Bang Club, a group of four South African photographers active within the townships of South Africa during the Apartheid period, particularly between 1990 and 1994.
It was co-written by two of the four members of the Bang-Bang Club, Greg Marinovich and Joao Silva. The foreword was written by Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
In 2010, the Canadian director Steven Silver released a film adaptation of the book as a full-feature film also entitled The Bang-Bang Club.
