The next sixty days—the months of November and December 1950—were
among the most trying of my professional career, more so than the Bulge.
The war in Korea abruptly turned from victory to humiliating defeat, one
of the worst in our history. MacArthur lost control of the battle and his
emotions, leading Washington to lose all confidence in him. Throughout
the ordeal we believed it likely thai a global war with Russia could erupt
at any hour, that the free world was poised on the brink of catastrophe.
接下來的 60 天——1950 年 11 月和 12 月——
在我的職業生涯中最艱難的，比 Bulge 還要多。
朝鮮戰爭突然從勝利變成屈辱的失敗，一
我們曆史上最糟糕的一次。麥克阿瑟失去了對戰鬥的控製，他的
情緒，導致華盛頓對他失去信心。始終
我們認為可能會爆發一場與俄羅斯的全球戰爭的磨難
在任何時候，自由世界都處於災難的邊緣。
