Big Picture: Winter War

DVD Copied by Timothy Vollmer. Here is a long and searching look at the Korean War during the period when morale was high. Important victories at Inchon, Seoul, and Pyongyang resulted in newspaper reporting that predicted an early end to the fighting. The story is told in the words of William H. Lawrence, assigned to the Washington bureau of the New York Times. Lawrence holds no brief for those who overlook the importance of the individual soldier, and he has the reputation for being a reporter who calls the shots as he sees them.
