The bombing of the North
1950–53 — Three years of strategic bombing raze most of North Korea’s towns; US planners themselves ran short of targets. The memory anchors the regime’s worldview to this day. Remember the people under it.
This is one scene of Chapter 4 — Korea: The Cold War Turns Hot in The Cold War, 1945–1991.
