An interesting point. It suggests that the injection of PLA troops into the Korean conflict could have been handled differently if MacArthur had better recon. Is it correct to believe that Mac had no forewarning of PLA forces aligned against him? He certainly wanted to go across the Yalu.
Is it correct to believe that Mac had no forewarning of PLA forces aligned against him? No, he had some forewarning, he just didn't want to believe it, even after the PLA came accross the Yalu and we started taking Chinese prisoners.
