Korea: The Forgotten War explores the violent battle, from the forces that shattered the post-war peace to the delicate resolution that set the stage for the Cold War. Witness dramatic footage of Marine forces as they execute an amphibious landing at Inchon; follow soldiers as they push the North Koreans to the Yalu River; and face overwhelming odds as China sends hundreds of thousands of troops over the border in a move that many thought signaled the beginning of World War III.

Through rare footage captured by combat cameras and first-person accounts, The History Channel presents a riveting investigation into one of the most important events of the 20th century.
