Summary: They were the little brothers of men who served in World War II – and, when their turn came, they served in the hellish Cold War conflict of Korea, “America’s Forgotten War.” Noting the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War, we speak with Vincent Krepps, a veteran whose twin brother went missing in action; Melinda Pash, author of In The Shadow of the Greatest Generation: The Americans Who Fought the Korean War, and Bruce Cumings, chairman of the history department at the University of Chicago and an expert in modern Korean history.
