We forget how grim the Korean War looked in 1950. Incheon was safely under iron-fisted Communist control and the front line was all the way down at Busan. However, the tide decisively turned when Gen. Douglas MacArthur led a massive amphibious landing at Incheon (commonly referred to as Inchon in contemporary accounts).
An operation like that did not happen without planning. It also required the covert efforts of a team of South Korean commandos attached to the Korean Liaison Office (KLO). Their secret Operation X-Ray will pave the way for the grand titular assault in John H. Lee’s somewhat fact-based “Operation Chromite.”
'Chromite' is a terrific war movie in the 'Guns of Navarone' tradition.
