An amazingly harrowing story of the 17 day engagement of bloody combat and heroic survival in subartic temperatures. UN forces largely outnumbered and surrounded, due to a surprise attack led by 120,000 Chinese troops. Also featured; insights from historians, and archival footage. —Mike D.

Typical Post WWII, Woe is Me ...

Typical Leftist Crap, listen to the woe is me cello music in the background. The Korea War was the USA's attempt to free Korea without using atomic bombs. They left that part out. This is another leftist, anti-American rant camouflaged as a documentary. China invaded Korea, and we helped to the best of our resources to free Korea because Japan was next.... this film is garbage with its woe is me, hand me a tissue please narrator.
