By early 1951, American forces and their UN allies had been driven more than 100 miles down the Korean peninsula by the Chinese. The situation was bleak when Gen. Matthew Ridgway ordered a last stand at the village of Chipyong-ni.

La narrativa de la Guerra de Corea en Occidente, y particularmente en los Estados Unidos, cuenta la historia de un conflicto entre dos superpotencias mundiales e ideologías contrapuestas en un rincón lejano del mundo. La realidad es que las ruedas de movimiento que llevaron al país a la guerra en 1950 comenzaron a girar mucho antes de que las botas estadounidenses pisaran el suelo coreano.
