In this program, a Communist invasion in the Far East brings the world close to nuclear war. When communist North Korea invades the democratic South in 1950, the US World War II hero General MacArthur is determined to put an end to the Red menace for good. With his daring landing at Inchon, he pulls off one of the greatest military operations ever. But when he orders his troops north to the Yalu river, Communist China joins the war. Their massive land and jet plane attacks drive the United Nations forces back into South Korea, and MacArthur threatens to drop atomic bombs in China, a move that could spark off global nuclear war. Just in time, US President Harry Truman prevents this by firing MacArthur. World War III has been avoided, but the Cold War has truly started.
