By closely examining the actual participants -- the Americans, The Generals, the Chinese enemy, the South Korean, the Greeks who fought alongside the Americans, coupled with current politicians and historians -- the audience can see first hand how a war affects people nearly sixty years later. Edward Herrmann narrates, featuring US Con. Charles Rangel, Former US Congressman Newt Gingrich, John Eisenhower, Oliver North, the South Korean Prime Minister and US Senator Richard Lugar of the Foreign Relations Committee. A truly anti war/pro veteran document.
