Description

In a surprise move, President Truman stripped Gen. MacArthur of his command in the far east and replaced him with General Matthew Ridgeway to take over command of the Korean war operation. MacArthur was a frequent and open critic of the Truman administrations handling of the Korean conflict, pressing for a second front to be opened on the Chinese mainland with the aid of troops from Formosa.
