Introduction

A 2003 documentary revealing the history of the Korean War.

Outline

American, Republic of Korea and United Nations troops were holding the Pusan Perimeter in the summer of 1950 as the North Korean invasion had pushed through all of the country.

This became the last line of defence while the US was pushing men and materiel into the area.

One of the first units was the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade with 6,000 Marines that arrived in Pusan in August 1950.
