Скачать или смотреть The Cold War's First Casualty: John Birch

John Birch was a young missionary-turned-intelligence officer whose life and death became one of the earliest flashpoints of the Cold War. Operating in China during the final days of World War II, Birch worked closely with both American forces and Chinese factions, navigating a world of espionage, political upheaval, and shifting alliances.
After the Japanese surrender, Birch’s story took a fateful turn when he encountered Chinese Communist forces. His violent death in 1945 was viewed by many Americans not just as a tragic loss, but as an ominous warning of the growing conflict between East and West. For decades, his name was invoked as a symbol of anti-Communist struggle, later inspiring the controversial John Birch Society.
Forgotten History explores the complex legacy of John Birch, separating the man from the mythology. Was he simply a victim of circumstance, or the first casualty of the Cold War? This video uncovers his life, his mission, and the movement his death helped ignite.
Written and hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.
