Episode: KW3: The Allies Strike Back: Inchon, Seoul, and the Breakout
Description: Soon after the North Korean invasion of the South, Allied Supreme Military Commander General Dougas MacArthur began planning a surprise amphibious assault on the key port city of Inchon, which was more than 100 miles behind North Korean lines.
