Description
This biography of General Walton H. Walker details the debacle of the Korean War and how the United States managed to lose that war. It shows how General Walker was used as a scapegoat to hide the ineptitude and incompetence of General MacArthur and his lapdog General Almond. Following WWII, the political and military leaders arrogantly assumed that the United States was invincible and no one would dare to oppose a nation with the atomic bomb. This book tells the sordid story of the political hubris and military incompetence that caused the U.S. defeat.
