This episode starts Season 2 of the United States Naval History podcast, covering the Cold War, an era of small wars and big bombs looming over a geopolitical tinderbox balanced between east and west, between totalitarian communism and more or less liberal, more or less democracy.

The Korean was a conflict which ripped apart WWII alliances for good and sent American GIs and sailors into direct, meat grinding conflict with their North Korean and Chinese counterparts just five years after the horror of WWII. This episode tells the hot beginnings of the Cold War, of one of the most ambitious and successful amphibious invasions of all time, of the United States Navy’s role in the conflict, and the stories of several veterans who survived the fighting there more than seventy years ago.
