MacArthur and the 5000 to 1 Gamble
from MacArthur Memorial Podcast
The amphibious invasion at Inchon in September of 1950 was General MacArthur’s greatest battlefield triumph. It completely surprised the North Korean forces and altered the momentum of the Korean War. Although the invasion was ultimately successful, in the beginning there was little support for it and many were convinced that Inchon would be a disaster. This month, we take a look at how MacArthur ultimately packaged and sold the idea of landing at Inchon to its critics.Have a comment about this episode? Send us a text message!
