After covering the Iraq War and the Cuban Revolution, in season three Blowback co-hosts Brendan James and Noah Kulwin now turn to the Korean War. Pre-orders are now available, with listening details below.

It’s both an origin story of America’s anti-communist crusade and the first bloodbath of the not-so-Cold War. Season three spans the dawn of America’s empire in the Pacific, through the Japanese occupation of the Korean peninsula, onto the devastating conflict that broke out in 1950. Revolutions, civil war, and a cast of characters from Kim Il-Sung to Mao Tse-tung to General Douglas MacArthur.

As a matter of fact, that war in Korea never ended. The only way to understand how, and why, is to go back to the beginning.

    I would say so. I listened to the beginning episodes of both of their earlier seasons and found them quite interesting. They give a lot of background information about the history of Iraq and Cuba and the context surrounding the Iraq War and the Cuban Revolution. Maybe someone who has listened to them in full can tell you more but from the episodes I heard I am looking forward to their season about Korea.
