Cold War 205 - MacArthur’s Graveyard

from A COLD WAR Hosted by Cameron Reilly & Ray Harris

Okay - no more foreplay. By early November 1950, Macarthur thought he had the Chinese scared and on the run and he continued his push to the Manchurian border, aka “the Home-by-Christmas Offensive”, assuring his troops they would all be home by Christmas. Little did he know that his 150,000 men were advancing unwittingly into 300,000 Chinese troops and 80,000 North Korean remnants and guerrillas. Neither the CIA or MacArthur’s own intelligence units had any clue what they were walking into. It was to become MacArthur’s Graveyard.
