The Korean War Week 108 - The Republican Candidate - July 14, 1952

Overview

n Chicago, the US Republican Party Convention comes to its end and they have chosen Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower as their Presidential Candidate. Part of the official platform is ending the Korean War. The war continues, of course, with a new UN operation designed to take prisoners, massive aerial bombing of Pyongyang, and the build up of the South Korean Army- the ROKA- to one day hopefully take over from the UN forces.
