KOREA - THE FORGOTTEN WAR PART 5: The Contest of Wills

This episode covers the final two and a half years of the Korean War as the UN forces rallied and stopped the Chinese, the front stabilized along the 38th Parallel, and two years worth of peace talks before the armistice is finally signed. In particular, this episode highlights the influence of General Matthew B. Ridgway in restoring the fighting spirit of the US 8th Army and the bloody hill battles along the 38th Parallel that resembled World War I static warfare. Furthermore, the growing political concerns during the conflict bring about great frustration at the front lines and the shocking POW riots at Koje Island.
