59th Anniversary of the Start of the Korean War

The Korean War started on June 25, 1950, and lasted until 1953. The North Koreans were backed by China, while the United States sent their finest along with many UN nations to fight off the invasion by the North.

There's an interesting story today in The Korea Times about Marguerite Higgins, who spent her time as a journalist covering the front lines of the war. I'd never heard about her before today, but she looks to have an interesting story. I'd love to read her book about it.

Check the article here.
