Many military historians believe that Douglas MacArthur"s finest campaign took place on September 15, 1950, at Inchon, Korea, eighteen miles from Seoul. On that day, the 70-year-old commander launched Operation Chromite, a bold and controversial battle plan that dramatically reshaped the course of the Korean War and became what may be history"s last full-scale amphibious assault. Inchon Landing describes that brilliant maneuver from its shaky inception in Washington through the war"s end when U.N. forces held back the Communists and reclaimed Seoul.
