"KOREA: THE FORGOTTEN WAR explores the long struggle half a world away, from the forces that shattered the postwar peace to the delicate resolution which set the stage for many of the tensest moments of the Cold War. See dramatic footage of U.S. forces in action as Marines execute a brilliant amphibious landing at Inchon. Follow the troops as they push the North Koreans to the Yalu River, then face overwhelming odds as China sends hundreds of thousands of soldiers over the border in a move that many thought might signal the beginning of World War III. With dramatic footage captured by combat cameras and first person accounts from soldiers, this is a fascinating examination of one of the most important events of modern times."

"Volume 7: On July 10th, 1951, Communist and U.N. delegates met for the first time in the town of Kaesong to begin cease-fire negotiations. Few would have believed that two more years of bloodshed lay ahead...The names of "Heartbreak Ridge" and "Bloody Ridge" entered our vocabulary. The armistice was signed on July 27, 1953 after thirty seven months, two days of war. The cost to the American forces: 33,629 dead, 103,284 wounded."
