    Happy Holidays!

    I forgot to mention this last week, but there is not a full episode this week. Take the time you would spend listening to this podcast and spend it with someone you care about. (I'll count it if you choose to spend it with yourself.) It's been a difficult year, and it's an achievement to just make it through.

    If you have a book recommendation you think I should check out, please find me on social media (@CTCApodcast pretty much everywhere) or rocket an email my way (ctcapodcast@gmail.com).

    Happy holidays, and I'll be back with Episode 27 next week!

    1.24 - 38 Down: January, 1951

    1.24 - 38 Down: January, 1951

    As 1950 rolls over to 1951, the Korean War continues on. The Chinese and North Koreans continue their drive down the Peninsula, attempting to push the imperialists and traitors out of the Land of the Morning Calm. The United Nations forces withdraw....and withdraw again....and withdraw again....trading space for time in a bid to stop the Communist onslaught.

    1.20 - 38 Across: October, 1950

    1.20 - 38 Across: October, 1950

    In the first week of October, South Korean and United Nations forces separately crossed the 38th Parallel, invading North Korea. Their targets were Wonsan and Pyongyang, that would both fall within ten days of the crossings. Around the same time, the Supreme Commander meets his Commander-in-Chief and makes a most unfortunate promise.
