Korea: MacArthur's War

The Korean War was described by lifetime diplomat Averill Harriman as a "sour little war." Over 33,000 Americans and two million Chinese and Koreans died during the conflict and most frustratingly--there was no resolution; the war ended in a stalemate that persists to this day. Perhaps the most indelible impression of the war was the fierce battle between General Douglas MacArthur and President Harry S. Truman.
