Witness dramatic footage of Marine forces as they execute an amphibious landing at Inchon; follow soldiers as they push the North Koreans to the Yalu River and face overwhelming odds as China sends hundreds of thousands of troops over the border in a move that many thought signaled the beginning of World War III.
