The Korean War: Fire and Ice

Recalling General MacArthur's amphibious attack at Inchon.

The longest retreat in military history---the U.N. troops' 120-mile trek through Korea---is documented.

General Ridgway replaces General MacArthur, launches operations “Killer” and “Ripper,” and helps turn the war in favor of U.N. forces. Two bloody years of battle ensue before peace talks resume and an armistice is signed on July 27, 1953.
