Masterstroke: The Battle For Seoul

It was called MacArthur’s masterstroke � a daring amphibious assault � deep behind enemy lines � and it changed the course of the Korean War.

In June of 1950 the North Korean People’s Army � backed by the Soviet Union � invaded South Korea. By August � American and South Korean troops had been pushed back into a tiny perimeter on the peninsula�s southern coast.

It was a desperate situation � requiring a bold, daring solution and Douglas MacArthur had one: place 70,000 U.S. & South Korean marines and soldiers on 320 ships, have them navigate the treacherous 30-foot tides to scale the seawall at Inchon � and then fight their way inland to liberate Seoul, South Korea’s capital.

In this powerful episode of “War Stories with Oliver North”, you�ll meet the extraordinary men � Americans and Korean � who fought those terrible battles � and accomplished what few believed could ever be done.

To show you how their courage still inspires a new generation of American and South Korean troops today, we went to Inchon, Seoul � and the DMZ � the demilitarized zone that separates the democratic south from the communist north.

Join us in this podcast � as we visit the battlefields where MacArthur’s masterstroke was fought � and see if you aren�t inspired as well.
