The Korean War 050 - Trapped in the Triangle: Korea's Killing Zone - June 3, 1951

Overview

The MacArthur Senate Hearings continue this week, with US Secretary of State Dean Acheson now in the hot seat. He takes a rather confusing barrage of questions, and yet manages to signal to the world at large, i.e. the Chinese, that the US is open to negotiations to end the war. The war still continues in the field, of course, with the UN forces' Operation Piledriver in action, driving into the 'Iron Triangle' and trying to trap as much of the enemy as possible.
